"66 Aer Lingus pilots are earning almost €20m a year, an average of €300,000"
€300,000 at today's exchange rate is $450,000
"its long-haul pilots, who earn up to $500,000 per year and benefit from incredible pension plans as well."
So he's not that far off the mark to be fair. Assuming the above is true, and as an Irish tax-payer, I don't think I would be alone in saying that it's time to get rid of Aer Lingus - it's gone, they've f*cked it, time to start over.
