I must know you from somewhere FLYING MECH. I left there as well 10 years ago (when the government had to bail Shannon Aerospace out, so nothing much has changed on the business plan.) Only thing I miss are the Ennis pubs

and the rain

. I must have been amoungst the last wave of people to leave Ireland and if Shannon closes I'll have no work to go back to in Ireland so I can afford a room to live in costing millions of euros as I approach retirement.
So of the original tripartite alliance that set up Shannon, GPA (bust and taken over by GE) Swissair (bust) and now just Lufthansa to play golf at Dromoland castle............
