That's not the issue Kremin, the airline's position was they did not have to talk prior to opening a new base outside the country and you damn well know it.
That's not the issue OneWorld22. Aer Lingus management were side stepping OUR COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS when they wanted to implement a Belfast base using DEC's and the likes, agreements they voluntarily signed up to, and promised would be kept pre-IPO - and YOU damn well know it.
We have no problems living in the real world. We also would have no problems with Belfast AT ALL, if our contracts/agreements were honoured like they should be.
