Some have decided not to answer the call due to the uncertainty. Some have decided to go for it anyway.
It looks like MOL will not be able to effect a takeover of Lingus. Nevertheless there are questions hovering over the next 2, 5 and 10 years that weren't there prior to flotation.
I believe Lingus are very understanding of the situation.
They would seem to be needing to recruit small numbers of new pilots in the next 12 months. If that's any consolation.
