Aer Lingus - 6
Done. Ridiculous in this day and age that a company cannot get on top of absenteeism. A fair few angry heads there on Saturday. And it wasn't just my flight. A lot of people standing around waiting for bags that took an age to arrive.

Do EI currenlty nightstop any aircraft in Europe?
I had a quick scan of the timetables and the earliest arrivals from BCN/MAD/FCO etc are all 12:00+, which rules out connections onto morning transatlantic departures. Surely as the hub continues to grow they would benefit from some earlier arrivals? It would help reduce the glut of early-morning departures from Dublin aswell.

Why would anyone from these cities want/need to use DUB as a hub rather than flying direct? I haven't scoured the websites, but I would have thought that being larger cities, these places would have at least as wide a range of TA destinations as DUB.

or example take away existing morning services out of DUB could really damage them with point to point and considering currently 70% of T/A services arrive in DUB before 05.45 to meet the morning wave of departures.

I guess they will replace the 757s pretty much 1-1 so that gives us a few route clues:
SNN-New York
SNN-Boston
DUB-Hartford
DUB-Toronto
DUB-New York (make the day return year round?)
That leaves 2 aircraft to launch new routes. Philadephia would seem a good bet to feed the American hub, then maybe Montreal. Detroit/Columbus/Baltimore could also be options.
If anything I think they could use more aircraft. Commonality with the short-haul fleet gives great flexibility if the economy takes a downturn so it's very low risk v getting new widebodies.

It could also bring back the early Kennedy flight, or do the same with BOS or ORD.
All indications are that it will have serious efficiency and cargo capacity advantages over the MAX.

It's rather interesting that they have still not confirmed what's happening with the A350s, both IB and EI due to start deliveries next year.
Wonder if we might see them with EI after all, not sure IAG have more A333 options left with Airbus for 2018 delivery.
