I agree they should have 5 cabin crew in their 757s. If they are going daily to JFK then they are up against DL and UA. Some of their 757s are fairly scruffy, no ptvs and they go tech quite often because they tend to be older. If EI could offer a better product than these 2 then the loads would follow. And there are still quite a number of US multinationals based in Shannon so i suspect a good business class product on EI would chase Delta away in the winter
As for the three pilots, when reading the incident report on the aileron deflection in BIRD on the way to ORD, there was definately a relief Pilot mentioned
