RE UA/EI operations to other destinations. I've heard rumours that there were discussions of operating IAD-BCN and IAD-NCE. That said I've also heard there were rumours of IAD-ATH and IAD-CAI. Would an Airbus 330-200 be able to cover those very long distances of the latter two cases?? The reason for the routes so I've heard is that they are more 'leisure' markets and that UA's aircraft are not configured appropriately for them whereas EI's airbuses are.
