Jeez, of the 12 routes anounced 2 are daily and the rest average 3 a week so let's say an average of 7 new flights a day which is just under 1m extra passengers if every seat was sold.
RogerIrrelevant, O'Leary boasted that this announcement would create an extra 200 jobs in Dublin. If we assume that FR carry 40 million pax this year surely then they should have 8000 staff. Likewise if we assume 200 staff for every 3 aircraft then 110 aircraft would add up to 7,400 staff. He claims to have less than 3000 staff however so that doesn't quite add up.
For the 3 aircraft involved lets say 4.5 crews each which gives 27 pilots. I would be amazed if they needed more than 50 CC. It is hard to imagine he needs 120 others staff considering the operation he already has in Dublin.
As usual nothing really adds up.
