Latest rumour in DUB is that Michael o'Leary of Ryanair is about to put in a (private?)bid. Then what? How about - keep the transatlantic operation going, shut down the short haul side, sell the Heathrow slots to the highest bidder and pocket a bucketful of cash. And, of course, Ryanair would have a free run in IRL/UK and IRL/Europe. Imagine SIPTU and IMPACT having to deal with MOL.
