Yes OK I suspect I have been a little harsh. I am going to try and catch a B787 from LGW to Stockholm this summer and back on the B73H perhaps. However Ireland is a flag of convenience I believe....
However I do honestly think Norwegian could carve out a very nice little point to point niche from MAN on long haul with a proper margin. That would make much more sense than hubbing at LGW to feed the New York run from London. (Well to me, but many carrier has been dazzled by London-New York). BMI had great loyalty, service and reviews at MAN then shot themselves repeatedly in the foot by hacking off those very same loyal customers.
