Personally, I think the recession couldn't have come at a better time for B.A. and Aer Lingus. Both seem to have managers in there now that aren't afraid to give the place a rattle and with the recession hopefully the unions will be a little more cooperative and less blood sucking than they normally are and see that what's good for business is good for jobs in the long run.....
Well done to Willie and Christoff if you ask me!
