I think its a brave statement to say the risk of missing a back-to-back at Dublin is now less than the likelihood of suffering a 1hr + delay. I know BA's on-time performance is fairly dire, but even so.

Personally, I'd be padding the 90mins out a lot further (if I didn't live in DUB) but the clear point being made is that recommending a back to back is now reckless.
