We are being presented with a fait accompli. Aer Lingus CANNOT survive on Ireland alone. There are some good examples of airlines that do serve their home markets exceptionally well and live on, the temptation here is to imagine a load of green tails on the South Terminal at LGW with A330s derving London- New York ( the most competitve route imagineable at the best of times ) is the answer. People, I think you got the question wrong before you arrived at this answer.
Got it pretty much right. It seems like last throw of the dice hoping it will work while burning cash like crazy and not tackling the root cause of why its losing money. There is an element of if we show we are an international airline then maybe someone other than FR will buy us. Wonder are EI Dublin based Pilots going to be flying the routes.
