British Airways is pulling out of New Fallujah. I guess those Jeff Daniels ads weren't enough.
Northwest still flies Detroit-London.
And BA still flies to Atlanta, which is near much of the auto plants which matter.

Are we to assume that Detroit’s having one of the highest concentrations of muslims outside the M.E has nothing to do with this?
OK, sure, what ever.

Some years ago, I flew out of Saudi Arabia on BA. I was talking with a flight attendant who told me that she landed in Detroit once and was staying at a hotel downtown. She had just unpacked and noticed an unpleasant odor. She called room service and hotel staff came up and invesigated. The odor emanated from a recently deceased gentleman whose corpse had been stashed under the bed and was just beginning to decompose.
My poor hometown. Once one of America's great cities, it's now a cesspool.

Northwest still flies Detroit-London. But they will switch to Heathrow (LHR) from Gatwick (LGW). Considering that lots of the frequent flyers who fly from Detroit (DTW) have frequent flyer miles on Northwest, they'll probably want to fly on Northwest rather than British Airways.
Fortunately, Houston will finally be allowed to have nonstop service to LHR that has been blocked by the Bermuda II treaty in violation of the US Constitution. The new open skies treaty with the EU has forced LHR to be opened up to any airline in the US that wants to fly there from any airport in the US.

Given the choice, I would always pick Gatwick over Heathrow. Less congested and more convenient.

Their PHX-LHR nonstop is always full and quite costly. I don't think they'll be dropping that one anytime soon.

The democrat party has utterly destroyed Detroit.
The only way to revive Detroit into an inhabitable region, would be to remove 100% of democrat party scum from office.

With an influx of Muslims, that will actually make Detroit improve. I think it depends on the kind of the Muslims we're talking about. If the Turks, Kurds, or secular Iraqis are moving in Detroit in droves, they just might save the city.
Not all Muslims are bad. And the good news is that the American born Muslims are not radicalized as the ones in London.
