24 flight deck for 3 aircraft or 2 for winter. Given the short routes are they really underworked? and with the growth ex DUB are they just maximising assets before adding more staff. Given the LHR set up works at SNN why would it be different at BHD and wont they hotel staff for seasonal aircraft like at Cork. They also bus crew between SNN/ORK daily so clealy its saves money and they have FR breeding down their necks.
Wonder if union agreements that prevented staff operatinfg in ROI and vice versa played a role in this.
Fares on bucket and spade are similor to DUB when rates are taken into account. If they plan to scrap them it will be in Octover and not October 2017 IMO. EI don't strike me as the type who will lose money for a season for good
