Celtic Emerald,
I once worked for them. Lowest paid job I ever had flying airplanes. Worst working conditions of any airline I know. Aer Lingus have the highest productivity of airline piots in Europe. Management regularly bragged about it at conferences.
How come they never had the highest profits in the business??
It's not because of overpaid pilots or cabin crew. Its because they have a management structure that is so top end heavy. Some efficient airlines ten times the size have less managers, and that's a fact.
Now, I left because I couldn't live on a copilots salary there. Why should the workers be blamed?
