Yes Jamie i understand where your coming from but look at the recent developments at SNN - first EI service to/from Continental Europe, services to the UK restored and preforming really well. Do the SAA want to throw all that away only for the same thing to happen down the road again? To be honest i hope FR dont grow as much out of Cork anymore i work there and i would be glad to see Baby back (other Loco's too) and EI developing more routes and increasing their base at Cork over FR any day!! - Ryanair are reminding me of a childhood friend i had years back who everyone wanted but left you when they felt like it , if you get me haha
