Time for EI to consolidate on their position at Cork as a 5th unit would have meant a whole host of new routes and the risk to overall yield management that might have triggered - just look on it as a wise regrouping of the business model for Cork?
I remember making similar comments, myself, last year and it turned out that it was an initial schedule because the new aircraft wasn't arriving until the end of June.
At present, neither of the routes to The Canaries are bookable and Malaga is at only 4x per week. I'd be surprised if it stayed that way.
