I am in no way gloating over anyone being lined up to lose their job. EI wanting to quit snn is the last thing I would have imagined happening. Whether there is one, two, three or 10 daily flights from snn to lhr it is of very little interest to me. Yes, I do believe the significant political clout that has surrounded snn for decades and is again so evident today has been of major harm to Cork Airport which has up to recent years been so left behind by the state empire that has controlled both the likes of EI and Aer Rianta.
You can keep your ol' spin - I have no wish to see any EI types lose their livelihoods - after all somebody will have to be there when yet another flight has to divert from Cork!
My family and I have had that displeasure three times in the last year or so.
