I am far from being an expert in these matters but BA used to have rights to many points from HKG. Maybe that would provide an opening for fifth freedom EDI-DUB. Alternatively I remember talk of some tkts ex ML being split into two parts to achieve an improvement in pricing.
As regards crew time I wonder if the 3 or 4 man flight crew could fly HKG-EDI-DUB. Also if it would work better as a morning flight, say 9am, departure from HKG to match with overnight arrivals from AUS and red eyes plus early birds from MNL
Just dreaming.
