Its a brave man that expands in a recession. Look at Richard Branson. Im dismayed by this talk of cutting back. However not surprised. EI for YEARS counting on the shamrock and the nice crew to pass them off as an average airline flying across the pond. They have left their ta fleet goes to pretty much the dogs before they give it an overhaul and in todays saturated market people want more, in fact they demand more and EI just wouldnt step up to the plate.
So will these costs speed up retirement of -DUB and -JFK, which seem to be the thorn in the side of the TA fleet now?
Couple of questions that I would like to see answered?
Could a A321 be reconfigured for a SNN-ORD?
What are the loads on the SNN-ORD currently?
Who gave these management monkeys a job?
