****Sensible in the winter? Shannon, like Glasgow is MASSIVELY seasonal and VFR across the pond. As to the 757 and 767, the capacity with Continental is virtually the same unless they release a B767-400.****
For the last 14 years SNN-JFK during the winter has been for the most part very successful. - immediately post 9/11 like most other carriers it didn't do very well and traditionally from mid Jan to mid/late Feb would've been quiet up until about 10 years ago. However, as I mentioned earlier, with the current economic climate only one carrier should be operating each day.
Also just as I'm a bit on the long legged side if you're saying that roughly the same amount of seats are on both CO's 757's and 767's then I don't think I'd like to fly with CO on their 757's for longer than 30 mins never mind fly across the atlantic which is a shame cos I heard that CO have a nice service. but I'm probably going off topic and this bit should probably be on another thread.
