The second day he joined the workers on the 2nd floor at a standard work station. EI was back in profit with 14 months. The senior management cut by 70 %.
You don’t half spout some ****e United. In so doing Walsh also f@cked over all employees’ C of S and reduced Aer Lingus to a low cost carrier in short order. In a very short period of time.
He’d have tried the same at BA if he could have got away with it.
Don’t tell me. He rings you and asks you and Traf for advice ?
