Quoting Akerosid
"I remember that time too and was active in the Shannon stopover issue"
Akerosid, I remember well reading many of your patient, persistant and reasoned posts on different forums about this. I'm pretty sure you played a significant role in getting that self-defeating stopover removed. Can't believe that was 20 years ago.
The subsequent growth in transatlantic services from Dublin has been modest and steady and continues to head in the right direction. Shannon successfully retained transatlantic ops on a more realistic basis and looks to have a sound future. BA, according some, don't miss the traffic that is now traveling via Dublin instead of Heathrow so all we need is for Cork to secure a direct US flight and everyone's a winner here.
