DHL/EAT

Hi Utopic.
To answer your question you need to ask a simple question and that is 'what purpose is EAT to DHL?' If you look at it from that point of view then you should be able to have an idea where things are going.
The basic facts over the last year are:
1) BRU operations have been wound down due to move to LEJ
2) The AOC is now moving to LEJ, hence the aircraft registration and operations.

There were historical reasons why BRU and EAT were important to DHL. These either no longer apply or are about to be so. Put yourself in the shoes of DHL and ask how you would make the company operations cheaper and more efficient. It's reasonably logical where things are heading if you think along these lines.
Obviously these comments are only my opinion, but hope they are of help.
Best regards,
BK
