MOL desperate for money after his F**K ups!
What a Jackal and Hyde one week he wants to SAVE Aerlingus because it our beloved flag carrier. He came over all father like and said he would even accept the union and current contracts.
He even said he would give Aerlingus 35 bran spanking new aircraft that were due to be delivered to Ryanair. Such a noble act of kindness to slow Ryanairs growth and expansion and help out Aerlingus. (reading between the lines does he need to offload new aircraft from his order that badly?) May be MOL FU**ED up in a the same way he did with his fuel hedging program. He hedged fuel at a ridiculous price and was locked into the high price for months after the other airlines were paying the reduced rates.
Then he turns from this caring father figure and his personality does a 180 degree spin and think up a crazy method of screwing people for more money.
If this is not a publicity stunt and he intends on going ahead with this charge I think it screams of desperation. He F**K*D up on his fuel hedging plan and locked in a ridiculously high price for fuel when other airlines were playing a much lower rate (arrogance, because he knew best) He obviously needs to claw back money in any way he can to try and make up for his F**K up over fuel.
