"The fact that Ryanair shareholders expressed utter confusion when their darling company declared a hostile takeover bid for Aer Lingus"
Utter confusion is a far fetched....concern in some financial camps would have been expressed.
That concern has been softened since their share price has risen from 8 euro ish to over 12 euro in the intervening period.....money talks.
If the commision reports backs with a positive result for FR with some crippling stipulations I still believe they'll have AL eventually.....
