Roverman,
Very interesting comments about transfer pax and that number for the Las Vegas flight. Unlike LAS, Atlanta is more likely to be used as a connecting hub than a final destination. Do you happen to know whether ATL does attract many transfer pax at MAN?
"because the transfer market is gaining traction which could be damaged by loss of frequency"
Good point. As far as next winter is concerned re the VS schedules, will the reduction in frequency to JFK (despite the larger a/c operating) have more effect on transfers than ATL, do you think? In the general picture, my impression was that the loss of frequency to ATL (the same sized a/c as last winter) was the more disappointing.
