I'm sure if it does happen FR will have a knock down fees deal, indeed probably try and smash EIR out either directly or via EMA,LPL,PIK and yes I agree EI-BUD they will try to push EI off FAO. What FR will then discover is, yet again, that there just isn't year round market for 189 seat aircraft being filled and the only way to do so will be by deep discounting. There will be an initial boom in pax followed by a big invented row over fees or management and like a bang they will be out, leaving SNN desolate again. It would be so much better to leave EIR to steadily grow and be able to sustainably run year round services in a/c that are sized right for the catchment area. I think if it was the DUB or possibly the ORK market then EIR might stand firm, I'm not sure they would at SNN.
