Continental now got 3 flights a day into Scotland , Delta starting Atlanta-Edinburgh very shortly, AA fly to Chicago & US to Philly , plus Icelandair with multiple routes via Iceland (funnily enough[?]) .... Surely there is scope for an airline like Virgin starting a couple of direct routes from Scotland (please!).

If MAN has only just managed to get VS to have another service- after some 8 years of MAN-MCO- i think you guys up in GLA are in for a long wait till the first VS service!
Off to GLA tomorrow- looking forward to it!

In a couple of years - Continental have gone from 1 route to GLA (with many wondering why they started it in first place!) , to now having 2 daily flights to Glasgow & another to Edinburgh.
Whilst you can argue different marketing plans etc - cant tell me that Virgin (or dare I say it BA) can afford to miss out on a route that has obviously proved very successful?
I would agree that MAN should have more routes too.
