Just to be clear this announcement by Virgin is a attempt to get the majority of slots if a 3rd runway is ever built at Heathrow. The earliest that might be is in 2026 and it’s doubtful it will ever be built. If it is built the route expansion plan does not include US destinations. They are specifically targeting IAG served destinations where there is no current competion.

So you are saying the Virgin pilots should share destinations from and within the UK to countries other than the US? Should we also share our routes in the US and other destinations with Virgin? Would UK law even allow Delta to fly those routes?

Well I personally think he is on to something. I have never heard any guard buffoonery during red eye hours or over the pond.
Now I know what you are thinking - who does not fly at night or over the Pond? I was thinking the same thing - must be the Southwest guys and gals, right? But now Southwest does fly to Hawaii, ergo it must be the RJ crowd.

What I am saying is that the high premium US market is mature and managing our position in this market has more to do with keeping our tickets at a premium price by scarcity. On the other hand, the expansion of the business (read multiple revenue stream corporation) is about access to markets and the management of our subsidiaries and optimizing those relationships. In other words the work here is done and management has moved on to greener pastures like credit cards, MRO and foreign operations outside the scope (for now) of the widget.

I can answer at least the Chicago question with a refrence......go look at the UAL APC forum on advance entitlements.......we are sucking on the third, malnourished teet in ORD.....to hope for more milk is a fools errand......IMHO

The list of US cities Virgin plans to add includes Chicago. How do you explain Virgin’s ability to fly that but call it a fool’s errand for us?
