SNNEI,
Thanks for the info on aerlingus.com bookings. Did you notice the site was down for much of yesterday evening?
I hadn't heard that EI were going for a mix of 777/7E7. I would out of personal choice like to see EI going for Airbus (nothing against Boeing), yet I do have a feeling that Airbus won't push as hard as Boeing for the sale. Don't ask me why, just an inside feeling.
