I heard they're looking for voluntary redundancy amongst the pilots.... So, hopefully they'll be rid of ridiculously highly paid captains... I say that's the plan... Streamline the businnes model. I heard one training captain is on 400K!!! Imagine how many seats they'd have to sell to cover his behind!
If anything, for wanabees, like myself I'm glad to see Aer Lingus adapt and change. If they're successful when things pick up hopefully they'll make big moves into the British and European markets to compete against Easy and complement Ryan in that EI could do major airports/city link ups where Ryan wouldn't... I'm sure that's what Ryan want given their 25% stake...
