Just after reading an interview with Etihad CEO about there Dublin routes.

2 daily in 2016 with 787 due to aircraft availablity issues not until then
Expect a 85% LF for 2012
First month of Aer Lingus condeshare dilevered 500 passengers
EY route still very profitable

I think if they wait until 2016 to go 2 daily it will be to late and EK will benefit.
Given that in the airline business a week is short term, next month is medium term and anything between that and 6 months is long term then their CEO is blowing smoke.

He doesn't even know whether he will be in a job in a years time never mind 4 years...............
