Overall: 
Core criteria checked per above template. Earwig's tool shows 2% chance of copyvio. Article is GTG for DYK. However, for pity's sake, please rewrite the source sentence to something less awkward. Try something like, "Aviation giant British Airways' dominance of the market and Virgin Atlantic's restricted use of its few landing slots were responsible for the demise of Little Red."Georgejdorner (talk) 18:12, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- The C of E, it occurs to me that the word "dominated" is a word commonly used in business affairs, which tends to give the hook deception away. How about substituting "monstered"? Gatoclass (talk) 10:25, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Well I originally wanted to used squashed, if you agree maybe we can use squashed instead of dominated. The Royal C (talk) 13:26, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
