An excellent argument put forward by nwoody with which I pretty much completely agree with but one thing is bugging me is the old chestnut of BHX to Orlando.
Over recent years BHX has had a single summer only weekly service byTUI while Virgin for example operate(d) up to double daily 747s from MAN year round and similar from London so surely they could see a large demand from BHXs catchment yet show no interest at all. Additionally there are/were large operations to Florida from Manchester and Gatwick/ Heathrow by the likes of TUI,TCX plus BA and others who would inevitably also be attracting many Brummies which Virgin would aware of.
I can only assume Virgin are happy with what they have and the fact that so many Midlanders are prepared to travel up or down the motorway for a couple of hours.
