Little Red -anything innovative? (merged)
Could it be that EI are assuming full commercial risk on the routes .
i.e. EI pay the costs of operating the services and they keep the revenues generated.

No, I don't think that would be allowed - it's Virgin who have the licence to fly the routes, not EI.
It's having the slots at LHR that's the issue.
My point was that, Aer Lingus having failed in its bid for those EDI/ABZ route slots, wasn't going to be able to fly them by stealth, i.e. badged as VS but with EI assuming all the risk/reward.

You don't have to eat it. 
What is wrong with EI? You don't seem to like them (or VS) so best not to use this service.

With reference to LaudaB777's link, I would love a Bacardi, Martini and Irn Bru cocktail, though they might have to carry me off at LHR.

It's a pity that the "Richards' Blog" yesterday didn't get more coverage, not only a neatly planned 'April Fool' but also out-'ridiculous-ing' another well known airline headman for way out statements in order to get publicity!

Do we remember Virgin Sun...? Different product/market, but....
Many of us have worked for operators where the SLF are "tricked", but they seem happy as long as they get their miles-cards filled in.
Manx/BRAL/Cityflier/Logan etc etc. From the cockpit door back the punters think they are on "Big Airline" and do not notice the small decal by the door which says, "Operated by ....."
I SLF'd on Virgin Sun one. Very pleasant and efficient crew.
