Spooky !!!!! Just heard on Irish Radio 10 mins ago a serious proposal from the leader of one of the political parties over there to split Aer Ligus in two...a Transatlantic Operation and a European operation. Apparently this MIGHT make it easier to get round the EU's restrctions on State funding of airlines. Transatlantically, Aer Lingus are in competition with Delta and United(?) who will both benfit from US govermnt extra funding. Aer Lingus cash will run out next February or March.
