True, I didn't cop on to that.
Analysing the summer schedule was totally premature on my part then.

I think 5 flights a day was bordering on over capacity, even if BA used small aircraft, and the Liverpool route wasn't around at the time. I'd much prefer to see a new route introduced instead of two nice and reasonably priced airlines eating each others profits.
EI have a base at Cork so won't be going anywhere I dare presume. Baby's future in Cork on the otherhand is far more endangered and I would hate to see EI scare them away
