eastern wiseguy - iam glad to hear that you are indeed living in the present, but i will point out that my previous thread referring to transatlantic services from LDY was in fact as a result of a press article in which I had read and indeed provided a link to in the orginal post.
I am glad it brought a smile to your face !
jbird11 - I agree with you on alot of your points. lets hope the NI executive can get their act together and help support some scheduled new european services (preferable from BHD)
I think the important point is that any new routes that receive funding must be shown to be viable and that the money isn't simply given out to line the pockets of the airlines.
