It clearly hurts Leo that the AL pilots decided to take a stand against you then? Thing is the pilots wouldn't give a toss about losing the money if it gave them a chance of stopped your lot from sacking them and offering their BRK contracts and a nice base at one of your less popular destinations in deepsest darkest Europe. Sorry that no one fell for the
PR sh*te that was spout about FR "saving" Aer Lingus. The cash is sunk now and long gone. Gee at only 50c a share and you dumping more to drive the price down then its a veritable bargain. Perhaps the pilots and staff of Aer Lingus should be buying up more and really slamming your face in the door.
Somehow I don't think the Irish government shares your views on the best interests for Irelands transport strategy but keep going with the spin.
