Hey Oneworld, the fact that there's a One in your user name leads me to believe that you think quite highly of yourself. That doesn't surprise me, based on your previous posts.
I don't know what you do for a living and I don't care. I do know however, that you're not a pilot, so the fact is you will never 'get it'.
The point is this. Aerlingus pilots don't care about the develpoment of other bases. They encourage it. They do however, care about their livelihoods and the future of aviation as a whole.
