The slots if required will be telling of IAG commitment!
Can't see a huge demand for LHR/DUB slots, Virgin probably won't touch them, given they're recent shorthaul experience!
Ryanair? Well they may well want to take them on as a loss leader, just to needle Aer Lingus after they've sold the shares!
