I’m not saying we aren’t for sale but I don’t see TATL as something that won’t work. They have already played around with the product and the plane and it had a big impact on our transcon performance so I don’t see or the Atlantic as that big of a stretch.
Off the top of my head I can think of several reasons why it won’t work:
Slot control and JBs inability to gain any meaningful/desirable slots.
JB flying into LGW, not LHR.
On time performance (or you know, lack thereof).
Lack of larger network.
Fare wars with VERY determined legacy carriers keeping prices lower than JB can keep up with.
