www – know I think you’ve hit on the reason Ryan will stay in Eire – nothing to do with AOC’s Aircraft Registration, routes etc – nationalistic pride - for an Irishman to an “important person” he needs to be in Ireland (and I’m not knocking this).
There is also the wonderful Corporate Tax Regime in Eire.
I think I agree with the first part of your last sentence – not sure about the second part.
Am sure that they have people working on “alternative plans” which would include moving Ops – if they didn’t Mr Ryan & MoL would be c**p businessmen and that is one thing I have not heard them accused of.
