Then for AL to set up operations on a UK AOC, postholders will have to be appointed specifically for that operation. I think this would be very costly to do for every new base. Also. where would the aircraft be registered? If on the UK register,will they will have to remain in Belfast, and cannot be rotated through dublin for maintenence, etc?
This is only a small aside to the fact of the mutually signed job security and work practice agreements in place, ie. what this whole dispute is over...
