Job losses are a natural consequence of privitisation. Didn't anyone realise that? Gone are the days when the State supported her Aer Lingus and propped up unprofitable parts of the business. The company is no longer a flag carrier' and is free to exploit the consumer wherever they are geographically. You also have the inherent conflicts and disadvantages of Ryanair into the mix.
Ryanair may blow its trumpet on job creation but on the other side of the scale they are also creating huge job losses in the aviation industry which naturally they don't crow about.
