I think we can sustain a possible new route because:

1. Shannon which is smaller has 4 routes.
2. I keep hearing this figure of 500,000 people from Northern Ireland using transatlantic routes in Dublin so I think we could get at least one.
3. I know there are people who go to Orlando and the like every year and they are not far and few between.

Its great to have United and I do fly on them but at the same time it would be nice to see a permanent route to somewhere else with another legacy carrier. I really wonder sometimes why the route has remained stagnant after all this time and not really growed that much when Dublin now has 4 daily United frequency's.

Half time its cheaper from here so that old chestnut doesn't work.
