RIP to poor ol' Seamus Brennan. Did not realise he was just 60 years of age. I remember him clearly during the General Election campaign of 1977 and how he helped Fianna Fail get to a landslide victory with election promises like the abolition of rates etc. On today's 1 pm news on Radio 1 they even rolled out MO'L himself to heap praise in memory of the late Mr Brennan on how he was willing as Minister for Transport to take on the all powerful unions at Dublin Airport and that he played a part in getting EI off the Dublin Stansted route leaving it to FR to reap the reward.
May he rest in peace.
Today at Cork there was another Eurofly charter from Milan operated by A320. Last night's bmi baby from Manchester was operated by a bmi A320. Looks like baby are happy to slog it out again for the winter with EI on Birmigham and Manchester. Suppose their Cork bound pax will be still waiting for CAT2 approaches by baby on the low viz days below CAT1? Interesting that with MAN they plan on double daily flights on the Mondays and the Fridays. They might get ahead a little with that plan.
Just heard that Dublin is closed until further notice due radar problems. No doubt Shannon will be reaping the harvest as usual!
