Aer Lingus's responsibility as a commerical entity is to maximise the return to it's shareholders.
Absolutely.
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...
Absolutely, as long as they comply with existing industrial agreements, freely entered into. If they break agreements, then that is irresponsible.
bearing in mind what Flynn said...
Who is Flynn, and what did he say???
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?
No, not to stop it expanding. To stop it exploiting them and the new employees.
because of the paranoia that big bad Dermot will apply these new T's and C's to the ROI pilots...
Paranoia?
I suggest you research what goes on at FR. Plenty of info on this very site.
And yet again, no mention from Aer Lingus pilots of the effect that this will have on their customers.
Equally you are the first protagonist to mention the passengers!
Most of the 'anti' comments have been whinges about the poor benighted shareholders! Now, as an afterthought, you remember the public?
Why don't you ask Mr.Mannion if he'd like to apologise to his Shannon - Heathrow passengers for the
permanent disruption of their services!
