True, but he's gone back to F1 after 4 years in A1GP, and those 4 years of running a team will no doubt help him in F1, so I suppose that is one way in which A1 could be a "staircase".
But I'm sure the series (when solvent) wants to establish itself as a standalone series in its own right, so this is a blow for them. However the Irish team seems well run so I'm sure they'll be OK.
