Aer Lingus's responsibility as a commerical entity is to maximise the return to it's shareholders.

If the board has taken a decision to expand the airline and secure long term growth by opening another base in another jurisdiction and adapt local market conditions to pilots who will operate from that base, that is a management decision and it seems a responsible one bearing in mind what Flynn said...

But yet again narrow minded Unions will try and stick their oar in and actually stop a company they are a shareholder of from expanding!! Why? because of the paranoia that big bad Dermot will apply these new T's and C's to the ROI pilots...

And yet again, no mention from Aer Lingus pilots of the effect that this will have on their customers. Sod them, just make sure I have my job for life...

Laughable on one hand but in reality, a disgrace.
