Surprised to learn that Aer Lingus procedure since sealed cockpit doors came into operation that 2 members of staff must be present at all times int he cockpit. IAA say all Irish airlines operate such a policy.
Easyjet (from tomorrow) and Norwegian will also follow such procedure.

Not sure why you're suprised Aer Lingus has this as a SOP? It's a mature, well developed airline that complies with regulators guidance.
The only function of the second person is to manually open the cockpit door, to let the PNF back in the cockpit. The assumption made is the PF is fully occupied.

VS to raise there "concerns" with the European Commission, while IAG have reportedly extended their LHR guarantee to 7 years.
Meanwhile EY have spoken about their stake in EI and they trimmed it's plans because EI wouldn't fly to UAE to allow increase flights. Think EI have made the right decision here because EY have cut capacity on the route....

Positioning home after doing EI flights?

I see they promptly climbed to a nice perch at 40,000 ft, the benefits of not having all those lardy passengers onboard.

Surely another route would be better served than DUB-LAX? With Ethiopian serving it already from June, the market is lessened.

I think the reason that entering into the DUB-LAX may take EI's fancy is that they can play two things in their favour, better connections from many points in Europe, and the pre-clearance, neither of which Ethiopian will benefit from. Plus there's a brand recognition in a sense that Ethiopian won't be the first airline that comes to mind when going USA-IRL

I can't see EI going more than 4 weekly or even 3 weekly so there could be room for both. It really depends on how much traffic ET pick up in DUB as I suspect it should be lowish as there has to be a good deal of direct point to point from Africa-LA for them to open a route.
Exactly. The plane will need to be mostly full with folks going between LA and Addis Ababa. There'll probably be very few seats available for people doing DUB-LAX, and as a result they won't be cheap I'm guessing!

€500 will get you a return fare Dubin - Los Angeles for the initial 6 months. Rumour has it also Ethiopian moving there trans Atlantic stop over to Dublin from Rome. As it currently stands x3 Toronto and daily IAd. So a lot of movement from ET in the early morning arrivals.
