A number of posts regarding transatlantic service from Cork have appeared here over the past months and have usually combined fanciful ideas with wild speculation.
I suggest that Ulick McEvaddy's comments following his recent appointment to the board of Knock Airport could provide a useful reality check to those (Rebel) wishful thinkers. He is hoping for a 2008 launch- beginning with charters, which are permitted in the current Ireland/U.S. bilateral, as indeed they are for Cork.
I don't think there is any point in continuing to blame the bilateral for Cork's inability to develop transatlantic charters when you look at the huge volume of flights of this category from almost every U.K. city.
