Oddly I do have a weird respect for MOL, he is managing to make a shed load of cash when others fail misserably.
That said, this take over of Aer Lingus stinks of hypocracy. MOL stated many times before he is hugely in favor of competition as it's good for the customers. With an 80% market share of flights from Dublin its never going to work for the travelling public.
Getting his hands on a few A330's would bump start Ryanair long-haul though...
I really hope AL manage to divert this attempt again, the Irish people are proud of AL and dont want to see it cheapened to the FR model.
