Re: CORK
There isn't much hope of SNN holding on to AA DL and CO if the previous subscribers analysis is correct. Its catchement area and potential business traffic is smaller than Cork's.
There is also a theory out there that if Cork gets a transatlantic service , it and Shannon will dilute each others high yield business to the point were neither airport will be able to sustain US flights.
Of course it does have the politically inspired promise from EI to maintain a service but post what will that count for?
