777 down to a 359 is a loss of 60 seats, 340 to 280, most days EY is full which is where the majority of lost seats are.
I really don't understand the fascination with London. 6 flts a day, probably more than all the other direct flights by other airlines put together!
It is a bit of a slap in the face for MAN, first promised the 350 this year instead LGW gets it, then promised daily from next summer, again LGW gets it! I don't get it at all!!
