Start US from BFS or ORK would affect DUB and SNN no matter what way you look at it and EI are not going to do that.
clareview think EI-EIDW meant what you said. We still need to remember EI were only talking about further cost cutting measures a few months back so starting 2 west cost would be very costly and not a good move by EI. Personally SFO would be a better option.
