Cork base
I agree, INLAK but with 4 320's based there it surely makes a lot of sense to move some pilots to Cork. I doubt if other low cost operators would use hotels if they had 4 planes based at an airport.
I'm all for consultations and dialogue but I'm genuinely concerned that EI will come under huge pressure in 2007 if change in both its long haul operations and short haul practices doesn't happen.
Cork needs a strong Aerlingus presence. By the way I'm told the airport reached the 3 million mark for 2006 earlier today.
