I thought EI were to purchase A350s? Or has that gone down the swanny??? I have a feeling that EI would configure the 787s in 9 abrest, the 8 abrest of the A350,would be much less 'cosy' I imagne.
The key to the deal will be the bridging options as EI will need planes from Nov @ the latest(earlier if they go Boeing) Boeing have plenty of 757 and 767s lying out the back, so that should not be a prob, but as for A330s? I dunno, dont think there is much around?
If EI do go Boeing, Ill bet they take some 757s for Cork and SNN,untill 2010ish as lets face it, who can fill an A350 from SNN to LAX?
