I would have agreed with your comments about FR and it's transatlantic ambitions, but I think it's competitors dipping there toe in the water could force his hand, Norwegian for example ... They also have set up shop in Ireland to headquarter their long haul business, if they (however unlikely) decided to do a Dublin USA flight FR may feel compelled to respond. Moreover, if one if FRs lo cost competitors got long haul right and make it pay it could be a game changer.

Westjet coming across on a 737 may also show the potential . All that said MOL will watching with interest as to how Norwegian perform on these new routes . If FR wanted to enter this space the lead time is large for appropriate aircraft .... Unless of course it was 737 op to the cities on the Eastern Seaboard of the US ...
