The US Airways 330's are nice, but feel rather cheap and tired inside when we tried them over VS.
As for the FAs. If you like the more 'experienced' mature crew then you will be happy.

US Airways were nothing special when I used them to TPA. Then again, I have never been blown away by Virgin. Nothing particularly wrong with either of them. US had experienced crew but, like many stateside crews, looked like they had been dragged through a hedge backwards where as VS crew generally look the part.
I'd choose VS, marginally, but calling US cheap and nasty is probably an exaggeration.
Further route announcements for MAN within the next 6 months possibly involve a very northerly destination and a City on a certain riviera. Normally don't like myself and others to be so cryptic but I was asked to keep it quiet. Hence the hints.
EDIT: The hints are what I was given..... more or less confirmed by the person who was giving them.

The information came directly from the commercial manager. I imagine it won't be confirmed until its about to be announced... A couple of years ago Istanbul was close to being announced but fell by the way side.
The first guess sounds spot on but the other guesses are incorrect.

Well I'm really trying to poke Easyflyer 83. Considering commercial confidentiality, he gave the first one away easily.
