Oldlag, your such a stirrer. Ei out perform every UK airline with the exception of Easy and do it to a back drop of Fr. The flights are largely full and and the performance figures speak for themselves add to that 1bn in cash and you can see why Fr wants to by it. I wouldn't discredit Sir Michael Bishops achievements but perhaps you might afford Ei the same curtsy. Camelhair was right on the money with his critique of Tom McEnaney writings. His sniveling,sycophantic outpourings will do nothing but raise your blood pressure and I'm annoyed at myself for even responding to a thread based on his drivel.
