I believe that you weren't meaning it like that but I'm afraid it came across a bit like that. When some big news is announced I'm sure the thread will become much busier.
I'm hoping that jet2 will announce a seventh based aircraft for 2017 as they are using an Air Europa aircraft this summer which could mean they want to expand but don't have the aircraft to expand with.

The main reason it's not busy is because the dedicated forum (another website) is where most people go to talk about GLA airport news.
Plenty to look forward to this year with the launch of Air France and Air Canada
also the new FR routes and TCX are basing another aircraft for this coming winter.
Jet2 (as you probably know) have ordered quite a few new aircraft most to replace older planes but some will be used to expand so a 7 base should not be to far away.

With Thomas Cook's massive expansion of long haul at MAN hopefully they try some routes out at Glasgow which I think is their second biggest long haul base (I only think I cannot confirm this). I'm sure a GLA -JFK would do really well.

New direct bus service from Ayr, Prestwick and Kilmarnock started 1/3/16.
Hourly from 03:00-22:00.
Really handy as there was no way to get to GLA from Ayrshire for early flights other than by car.

Absolute non-starter.
BA have better things to do with their aircraft.
They currently offer daily connections via LHR and though it involves a transit from T5 to T3 on the outbound this is done airside via Flight Connections so there is minimal Heathrow hassle.
Also as BA common rate their fares ex Scottish airports there is no real penalty for using the LHR transit.
VS pulled out of GLA-LAS so now Thos Cook have the direct market sown up.

Sown up is not a term id use to compare TCX chop-and -change route to a BA service. BA would eat them alive if they wanted to and the connecting stats that BA will have will bear that out. Cant see it operating myself, but if it did it will do very well. The Avios'rs would lap it up.

My source is someone involved in the leisure travel industry. Find it hard to believe myself, but no reason to doubt them.
One thing I could see them doing, realistically is a short term charter service. I believe the North American Celtic Supporters are having their convention again in Vegas next year.
