Well OK, but that condtion equally applies to all airlines operating t/a @EINN. I wouldn't worry too much about the future of t/a at EINN it clearly has a good chance, as more and more US airlines are sending their 752s on t/a. EI will serve EINN for quite some time, as already it has some direct services to JFK and BOS. And the loads seem to be quite good.
