It's 34 Dreamliners we are talking about j636 - 8x 787-8 already on order and partly delivered + 6x 787-9 already on order + 20x 787-9 put on hold.
Fair enough but could you ever see 34 profitable B787's flying mainly between Europe and the US.

Personally would love to see the IAA bit scuppered, but , how to make it work with labour costs in Norway is another thing, smacks a little of "end-game", hope he hasn't played the trump card too soon/too obviously
If the US Departmet were going to stop it they would of done so already however if they give the go ahead it will unions will have a feild day in the US. They are dragging their heals on it.

Would Irish labour costs be lower tha Norways to operate as they may get it that way.
