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....
Never suggested they would do it to many flights but as requirement to buy Irish Govt shareholding they will be required to use LHR-DUB slots then stop off in Dub kills 2 birds with maintaining some semblance of a T/A Link.
