If this was my first or frequent experience of an EI 330 (and having read up on that cabin configuration on the website), I'd be probably pushing EI down my list of airline choices across the Atlantic.

I am told that the decision about their entry into maintenance is imminent and that it is expected that both refurbs will be done by end May.

One last time for me DUB-MCO on Saturday just past. The crew mentioned that one refurb was in process and this bird was headed there next. I won't miss it, but I have to say that, sitting in the middle aisle, I had a great 3 or 4 hours of the flight chatting to the stranger next to me. It was like the old days, facilitated in no small part by the lack of wi-fi.

It looks like EIK was last used on 13th January and EIL on 14th January. Until this point, as far as I can tell, they were both in service pretty much every day.
