PPRNkof,
you must listen to and watch too much RTE. Get a few facts. Try the Aer Lingus website for the last set of accounts. It is a cash rich company.
As for strike - what strike? SIPTU and company management reached agreement over a week ago -maybe you should try and keep up to date with whats happening in the real world.
DAZ,
Offer 33 737's to Aer Lingus - so that EI can dispose of their aircraft so he doesn't have a surplus on his hands.
100's of jobs - get real. FR do not directly employ many. Most are contractors and are seasonal.
Just go back through the rhetoric that MOL has been spouting for the last few years and compare it with wht has really happened.
FR is currently forcing all of its pilots to take unpaid leave over the winter.
MOL is claiming that the delay in opening the EDI base is as a result of delays in aircraft deliveries, whilst he has over 20 aircraft parked up.
See through the verbal diahorrea.
