It makes almost no sense for you guys to make such a huge detour just to fly across the pond.

Maybe one day Ryanair will fly St. John's to Dublin and you'll have cheap access to all their European destinations.
We already do have access to RyanAir and the like, really. Once we're in Europe, we can avail of those flights, and the direct flights to Dublin/London accomplish that purpose. A lot of my friends took the flight to Dublin and went on to Paris, St. Petersburg, even Istanbul, etc.
