I think NSF's assessment is pretty much bang on the money. 100 pilots about to be made redundant in Dublin. The AOC is a smokescreen for a straightforward union bust. Why else would they choose a third rate gypsy airline?. Management have admitted as much at a meeting in LGW 2 weeks ago. Pilots in Dublin offering to work in LGW on local terms in preference to redundancy have been told that work going to AEU instead. Management want to keep the bases flying while Dublin strikes. It's a race to the bottom facilitated by AEU and EI. So before you jump down NSF's throat listen to what he's saying, it's the only one with a bit of clarity compared the horsesh1t you read here mostly. ( & mcdu2 obviously!)
