Given that there are at least 6 AA/BA a day ORD-LHR, would it not be easier to drop one of the LHR flights than the sole MAN to/from ORD ?
You were being flippant?
How about distributing some of the LHR daily deps around the regions....
ATL (5), BOS (6), ORD (9), DFW (4), IAH (4), LAX (9), MIA (6), JFK (20), EWR (10), PHL (4), SFO (6), IAD (6).
30 deps to NYC... I cant even be bothered ranting about it.
