Has anyone had any feedback on how PAX are finding the new DUB-MAN/BHX routes where both EIR and EI are operating?
In MAN today, the 18:15 EIR to DUB was delayed for a couple of hours. When the A320 turned up to operate the evening EI DUB service, there seemed to be great disappointment from those delayed thinking that they were on the A320 to then see the tatty old OY-LBH turn up to operate the EIR...setting off later and arriving much later.
It is still quite surprising that people don't realise that those particular flights are operated by EIR.....which again adds confusion regards baggage requirements.
I think the model is a good idea, I just think that EIR are shooting themselves in the foot operating knackered begged and borrowed A/C on these important routes. Recently we have seen a lot of EI-REH, OY-RUB and OY-LBH out of DUB.
Why couldn't they have waited for the arrival of the new A/C before launching these routes? Why are the 600's taking forever? It is much easier and quicker to damage a reputation than make or rebuild one. Can't imagine EI being happy.
