Although the codeshare with Jetblue will apparently be kept, may we assume the UA's will be dropped?

"(...) Aer Lingus will coordinate its capacity, schedules and pricing between Europe and the USA with American, BA, Iberia and Finnair as a part of the partnership. Airlines tout this kind of integration as allowing them to improve connectivity and boost revenues by working together. (...)

Interesting to see if a codeshare with Iberia and Finnair will be restored then (Iberia used to codeshare with Aer Lingus during the Oneworld alliance period). Will we also see more flights between Dublin and Madrid & Helsinki to coordinate on a better level the JV adventure & Atlantic flights? Maybe finally some expansion on the Shorthaul for Aer Lingus? it would make sense. Interesting times ahead!
