new PHL-LHR entrant: Delta or Virgin Atlantic?
Now that it seems the AA/US merger will go through, the European regulator condition that they give up LHR slots for a competitor to operate PHL-LHR will come into effect (http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-764_en.htm).

What are the chances DL or VS jumps on these slots to operate the route?

I think A DL 757 might work, I just wonder what the "special feed traffic agreements with the likely entrant airline" means.
