Boston via B737-800?

It's apparent from comments on the Flyglobespan thread that the GLA-Knock-BOS service is to be operated by a B737-800 this summer. This re-inforces earlier scepticism regarding the passenger (and tourism, and spending) benefits proclaimed by the airport's M.D. when announcing the new routes. Whereas it's probably the perfect aircraft to inaugurate transatlantic service on a thin route, no mention of the equipment proposed can be found in the Flyglobespan website, nor in any publicity around the Knock-Boston service. Irish aviation's best-kept secret?
