Considering the fact that Delta loves subsidies, despite decrying their competition for receiving them, Delta should have looked at Stansted for these flights if only because the landing fees would be lower and, who knows, they might get subsidized. I still think either Delta will fly 757s with premium-economy as the highest class of service or rely on Virgin Atlantic, which has reduced labor costs.
