So, to fill up all those flights is going to be a tough call, it's going to need a bit of patience, but, as long as all the carriers can weather the turbulence, it should come out the other side in relatively good health.
This is almost the opposite of how publicly traded companies think. They think QoQ and that flyable asset is supremely mobile. You might recall a while back you argued blind with me that American would fly MAN-JFK/ORD/PHL/CLT and I strongly said CLT, the likely weakest would go. What we're seeing is perhaps a mini bubble with a right sizing to come over the next few years. American have already dropped BHX and United dropped NCL, of course the flip side of that may be that the strategy is to feed those passengers onto the remaining UK regional network rather than funnel them over LHR.
