RB please tell me the article you refer to was not the psychotic rant from Shane Ross??? It was a typically pathetic article from a tired bitter old hack.
That article basically painted Aer Lingus, its unions, the Government, the banks, the brokers and any possible investors as the bad guys while people like him ( he didn't elaborate other than mention the lazy option that is the taxpayer ) were the victims.
Ross said in the past that Ryanair is a 'model' Irish company. That is how much he thinks of the average taxpayer.
