Virgin has since reinstated the second daily Virgin operated flight in LAX.
A more accurate statement would be that Delta chose to move one of the daily ATL LHR fights to operate LAX LHR instead.
It's positive but in this whole transaction we didn't really gain anything, and Virgin didn't give anything up but added a daily LHR ATL to their operation.
Ironically the 787 is actually better suited for the longer haul LAX LHR.
Cheers

It sure would be nice if DAL pilots did the flying versus farming it out on JV....

Maybe Dalpa can negotiate away more scope. Instead of flying any Delta jets across the pond, we can provide one or two relief pilots on every codeshare partner's flight that requires them.

Just ignore the whole thing...
Take everything that you hate/dislike/don't understand about the mighty maddog............
And it's fixed and works great on the Boeing...
Other than that it flies like a real airplane with hydraulic actuators not tabs!
Oh....except for the engines....N1 or N2 modes might give you a little trouble!
And you can go above fl370.....................
