Surely the AA B787 would need to be a feature at MAN for it to be considered a swap.
Currently, we are talking about swapping a BA machine (whether it be B777/B787 or otherwise) for an outdated AA B767 which still doesn't feature the basics like seat back TV's. Even low cost airlines feature that, hence why airlines like TCX are eating AA's dinner.
I mean, Christ, the AA flights struggle to even leave their point of origin for Manchester these days, and the ones that do are horrendously delayed. Seems to me basing the aircraft at the other end of the route might be a good antidote to the unreliable service!
