Rainboe, Rainboe, Rainboe. Your euphamistic spin really passed its sell by date a long time ago.
It was AL that instigated the whole affair, AEU merely responded to a quotation request.
Roughly translates as AL needed someone with no scruples to do its dirty work for it and you guys were happy to leave your morals at the door.....
AEU has every right to carve a niche in the aviation business just like any other company.
What did you do in the war, Daddy?
"Well son, I carved a niche for myself ......"
And to Kirks Gussett, are you saying that the AEU pilots were in a union? Well shame on them for pimping themselves out for union busting detail. They were taking jobs that should have gone to pilots at AL threatened with redundancy. Well if there are any jobs lost at AEU then I guess thats just karma.
So as you sow, therefore shall you reap...
