So cut staff costs is the answer (it always is)

Or

Ireland is going though a time of very very high growth. People are emigrating to Ireland, the reverse of the last few hundred years.The effect of this is the highest inflation in the eu plus a real increase in general living standards.

There is no way the airline can cut its self off from this, if the wages do not follow the
rest of the economy the airline will lose most of its staff. So big pay deals are needed,and big fair increases. If the market will not take the increases then the airline will have to cut back. People who leave will easily get a job in the Dublin area,probably for more money.

But in the Ireland of today low pay increases = NO workers.
