Ei out perform every UK airline with the exception of Easy
Curser, could you please clarify the criteria you are using to come up with this assertion??
The flights are largely full and and the performance figures speak for themselves
This is just lazy writing - no facts to back this up whatsoever. If you'd bothered to look at the 2006 prelims, you would see that EIN's load factor is 77.6%, down from 81.4% the previous year.
As someone has already pointed out, the original article was a complete load of tosh as you can't takeover a privately-owned company.
Aer Lingus needs to get real, sort out the unions, come up with a realistic picture of its present and future strategy, and not get sidetracked with starry-eyed nonsense about taking over other airlines.
