You only offer more flights if you think there is demand there. So clearly American are more confident they can fill the plane in the quieter months than they were previously.

Thats great news to hear.. slightly surprising though, as the loads haven't exactly been huge over the summer. So much for the blood bath everyone predicted when Emirates started flights though.

why? The 757 is perfect for the UK, it frees up 767s/787s for use on longer runs into Europe that the 757 cannot manage.
