Rutan16,
Any point served in North America by a network carrier will do well. The amount of connecting passengers is incredible, coming from all over the country to Dublin, and from Dublin originating pax who can connect there.

AA being the big network carrier at DFW will already carry plenty of passengers on this link. They have access to industry data showing the level of revenue and pax on DUB DFW... these guys take very calculated risks, they wouldn't be investing a 787 into this launch unless there was a solid business rationale to do so... let's hope..
