Aer Lingus - 6
A stipulation from the EU ruling on allowing IAG to purchase EI was to leave all current joint ventures to continue and allow them to be renewed, so all the codeshares/JVs Hangar 6 has mentioned are free to continue, and why would IAG not want them to? They already get BAW, IBE and AAL connection money, leaving current deals in place grants them access to more money from UAL and KLM, plus allows us pax to select a better product from JBU.
And I agree AAL offer a far inferior product to ALL their US competitors.

Total over capacity on this route to CPH and this summer there were as many daily flights to CPH as there were to AMS.
EI are a commercial outfit and will not waste resource.. And as has been said, it's been reactivated so many times, so EI have given CPH prob more attempts than most routes.

An A330 to YYZ if it improved OTP even just by quicker loading at both ends. 
won't hold my breath!
Hartford is an interesting one. Half way between NYC and BOS more or less. Might pull in a little traffic via Amtrak down from Vermont/Western Massachusetts, and hopefully substantially more up from the fairly sizeable New Haven on the coast (which is where Yale University is located). With an AC codeshare it might be able to offer additional seats to YYZ on non-direct days when BOS capacity is tight and the alternative offered is ORD.

IAG is now saying they have confirmed the order for 15x A320neo jets, to be used across all four airlines. This on top of the 2x A333 (for EI) and 2x A332 (for IA) that have been confirmed.

Air Canada have added LHR/BHX/MAN/GLA/EDI connections to DUB-YYZ using EI's flights for next summer. Does not appear in reverse for Irish bookings excluding LHR which always was available ex DUB.

yup, just looked at June and a YYZ-BHX outbound is offered in June as AC1908-EI272. At 10h35 it's the shortest total time option on the route - not surprising as most of the other options are via FRA!

Aer Lingus Orlando problems
Ei 120 due to depart MCO last Saturday 14th at 2045 -
Cancelled at 1am due APU problem.
Re scheduled as EI 1120 for Sunday 15th at 2359!
Cancelled again around 2am.
Replacement EI aircraft - the St Ronan arrived via Boston with a scheduled departure as EI 2120 2000. Finally departed 2115 Monday 16th.
Nearly 300 PAX seriously discomoded.
My daughter and her husband on the flight.
EI communications consisted of one email and one text to her over 3 days.
Had to phone EI New York for updates.
PAX are reminded they are entitled to compensation for cancelled flights
under EC 261/2004.
There were two cancelled flights.
Flights over 3500km results in compensation of €600 per cancellation.
