People seem very confident that SFO will be launched, I have dought even though they have the A332 available to do it. The JFK schedule above doesn't work out as its all A333 and EI will not drop to A332 to make SFO work, now it is workable but not as posted above.

1 - New YYZ service will reduce pax on ORD
2 - New SFO will have major affects on there ORD service and not that EI will be concerned it would quiet possibly spell the end of IAD with United.
3 - SFO has major costs involved and I don't think it will be profitable for EI if they restart it and as said above it will reduce profitability on other T/A routes.

There is an Abu Dhabi rumour regarding San Fran through Dublin. The West Coast is a huge hole in their route map.
If that is the case then that will be the only chance for it to be a success for EI. Do we know if it even made a profit when they last operated.
