That rather depends on how long airlines survive taking on huge losses. In the end they go bust, a la excel, and I'm sure Ryanair are sharpening their knives in the wings as they hope for Aer Lingus to fall over. However that is not the case, because the deal with Aeu will enable them to reallocate resources, cut costs and thus save far more jobs in the long term.
Sorry, but Ezyland, Virgin and everyone else(except astraeus) has cut jobs, cut aircraft, and cut salaries.
We have employed pilots, maintained our salaries, and taken on new planes- and not just the Aer Lingus ones either.
Better to keep more people at less money than no people at all.
When things get better, people will get more money, and they may choose to move on. Good luck to them. They deserve it. In the meantime we are busy employing cabin crew and pilots. Cant see the problem. its the EU, and labour is mobile, as it should be.
