US adds second PHL-LHR flight (daylight eastbound)

[Dont call me Shirley]

The PHL LHR market is getting more interesing.  In spring 2015, DL is starting the  route and AA/US adding a "daylight" flight. The new westbound flight will an early one, too.  (A schedule type once nicknamed "poor man's Concorde"). Both the DL and US flights will be on 757s.

Looks like the AA plan will require two airplanes to make it work, since the LHR-bound flight departs PHL about 90 minutes before the PHL-bound leg lands.
 
Will probably do well for those who find it difficult to sleep sitting up, and would like to spend a night in a hotel and get up early and refreshed to get a head-start on their day in London.
