class which I found quite humorous to say the least but....I was fortunate from 20 years of age to have traveled business class with British Airways, South African Airlines and Trans World Airlines as well as staying in the Holiday Inn, Metropole, Novotel, Sheraton branded hotels so it's not always the age thing although I was very fortunate enough at 20yo to have had such a great job that allowed me to have such a lifestyle albeit being paid for by my employer and not by myself at such a young age.
But I totally agree I take everything he says with a large pinch of salt.

On a separate note. Can we leave OwenC alone and talk more about the airport. I would like to know if anyone has heard about Norwegian doing anything with their daystoppers

For September they are carrying 40 passengers on their service to New York. That ain't good!
It also ain't good that they have cancelled the Boston flight today.
So basically I will not be booking any flights with FR after their recent nonsense, even although I have booked LGW for October just a day before all these cancellations were announced!
And now Norwegian have arrived on my airlines to avoid at all cost list.

You're comparing apples and oranges - United are a major carrier so will have a frequent flyer programme, connections to many other US destinations and fly to a major New York airport. Norwegian don't offer any of these - no loyalty programme, no connections and a destination airport a fair distance from New York city. Price isn't the only consideration.

Still 80 us poor if it was Jan or Feb then it might be acceptable. I wonder if forward bookings are behind the reason for reducing the freq in 2018 or at least until July-August.

Bookings from what I can see have taken a dip after the school holidays but increase toward October. November a bit quiet but moving into December becoming busier with the holiday period well utilised. Jan and Feb quiet and starting to spike from March, however far more than 40 pax per sector each month.

Cork figures also falling, but not as much.
40-80 is FAR more concerning than its being made out to be. Airlines like United (higher fares) can run at break even or minimal loss at around 45-55% loads, this figures is much higher, between 65%-80% depending on yield for LCC's.
A Stewart rotation has already been lost to Shannon for next summer, just pray marketing will maintain this route.
