Anyway there will definitely not be two A332s based in MAN unless another is acquired from somewhere as only 3 remain in the fleet, and only 2 of them have crew rests suitable for West Coast US operations (-GEY doesn’t).
Yes I read that too about the A332's being used for DUB services and it crossed my mind whether it put the EI flights from MAN to the US in doubt for next year. But as you say, S23 is still showing MAN - JFK bookable with the A321NEO and the MCO with the A333. Time will tell I guess. Reports suggested that JFK was doing well even with the narrow-bodied a/c and that while MCO struggled, it did start to pick up in peak season.
