IAG to buy it and use Dublin as a stopover to clear customs and immigration for some of their US flights and as a stopover on way back to drop off and pick up. BA strength is as a predominantely a UK-US carrier.

Ohhhhhhhh that's genius. "Look chaps, we've had enough of flying from LHR to the US direct, we've had a whizz bang idea of using Dublin. In Ireland. Then we can lose even more flying East where we're being killed by the loss of our QANTAS JV, Emirates, Qatar, Etihad and Thai. Spaffing idea eh?"
Even for you racedo, that's off the wall....
