Basil, I still cant understand how you have come to your conclusions based on the fact that 2 of your mates didn’t get a job with RE.
Did you ever try to find out just how many of the present pilot workforce is Irish? Did you compare their FO starting salary with the cost of living in Dublin? Did you compare their experience levels with those hired?
Gaelic is used on my Pilots Licence and Passport, at one stage we could even get the SI's in Gaelic, is that official enough for you?
As for your comments about DS, I really think that you need to meet the man before casting aspersions on his character....
Slan Leat……
