Indeed eireman,
I was also wondering regarding this. Esentially, there would be an empty -330 flying from MAD-DUB-MAD. Perhaps EI might use this aircraft for revenue services, but then there would be the logistical issue of the return flight to DUB.
Alternatively, perhaps there will be a rotation between other aircraft in the US, but this does not really allow for the possibility of unscheduled maintenance etc.
At the moment though, it does seem pretty certain that only 1 -330 aircraft will be made available for the Joint Venture.
