Unhappy

This has been a truly appalling few weeks for the staff at Egaa(me included) So far we have lost or are losing Gill Sabena British Airways and to our competitors at EGAC Bmi .Cuts in staff would seem to be the logical outcome.I am surprised at the silence from the local politicians regarding BA.With the "political"ramifications I expected at least the DUP to say something !As for giving the Northern Ireland business flyer what they want as stated by the BMI chief executive in the inflight magazine last month I fail to see it ! A drop of something like 8 rotations to Egll a day by BA and a late night flight cancelled by Bmi can only lead to a severe increase in fares into Heathrow!.The economic isolation of this part of the UK is increasing !Off to remove my bootlaces and belt !!!
