Hasdrubal,
I cannot, obviously, comment on the situation between other carriers and the Irish tax office, all I can tell you is what this years BRK mob are doing with the current crop of accountants.
If I were to pursue this to better understanding, I would be asking about Shamrock and Air A employment terms and structure. Are the pilots employed as contractors like us? Maybe the devil in the detail on this one?
Wally.
