Post What did Michael O'Leary ever do for us?

I remember about ten years ago been down in the Coach "knowing" we were going to be out of a job the next day. Aer Lingus had almost put us out of buissness using tax payers money to undercut us and drive us of our routes. Then we got a brake. The government decided to give us a free hand on regional routes and give us exclusive rights on a couple of Aer Lingus routes. About the only thing they ever done for us. But it was only a life line till MOL came along and turned us into one of the most profitable airlines in the world.
Now times have changed. Aer Lingus is laying of there staff and the only place for them to run to in Ireland is Ryan Air! Just as well were still in buissness to give ex Aer Lingus employees there only hope of a job in Ireland. Guess Aer Lingus employees and ourselves have alot to thank Mick for.
Thank you MOL
