Do you feel people who work for NIKE or Ryanair are somehow inferior to you?
On the contrary - I believe it is YOU who consider them
stupid little people. Stupid and insignificant! Mere chattels, who tend to get in the way of your almighty free market by making inconvenient demands for fairness and respect! Ryanair and NIKE are plain examples of how your business heroes will treat anyone unable to stand up to them. You should be ashamed of yourself in supporting them!
If you read my post you'll see I didn't say anything about RYR flying to LHR, somebody mentioned in an earlier post the possibility of Ryanair operating some flights for EI during the strike, this is the point I was referring to.
And my point is that your point is irrelevant because Ryanair does not own the slots. The slots are the issue - get it?
I have a 'relatively' small shareholding in Aer Lingus
Really? My mistake! You sound like you own the place!
Why should working people in Aer Lingus or NI put your 'relatively' small holding in front of their own survival? Do you think they should? Would you sacrifice your future for a greedy stranger with a 'relatively small holding' in your business?
but that makes me an owner none the less so I am entitled to a voice
Yes certainly. A 'relatively small voice'. Not the bombastic and domineering one you are using. If you want a bigger voice, buy more shares and suppport the company - which is what the Aer Lingus pilots have all done.
