A quick observation/question about SNN. In a longer-term strategy that envisions using DUB as a hub for intercontinental flights, doesn't SNN offer potential as well? In other words, it's easy to see that IAG could gain by getting a dominant position in DUB but, given SNN's position and BA's familiarity with the operations there, perhaps there's a thought that SNN could offer another, smaller hub that could eventually yield the benefit of additional TATL slots? Or am I just overestimating the amount of business that IAG might intend to run through DUB?
