No you have it wrong, ;-)
Virgin added back a second LAX-LHR after "moving it" to ATL.
Same story as has been going on for years at the other Transatlantic JV.
Unless you have your eye on the ball you "might" think we are "winning"
This is the game we are playing:
- Capacity control provided by Delta pilots.
- Extra flying to fill the new "void" by the European JV partner.
- Promise a 2.7% increase in flying at the cost of a 4-year compliance window, then fail to meet even the pre-increase amount.
- Get Delta pilots to agree to "global production balance" and then redeploy the global Virgin flying to focus on US-routes: priceless.
