FFS JMC-man if you don't know anything about the issue please don't post. Astraeus pilots flew Aer Lingus (our) aircraft on our routes while we sat at home on reduced pay under the threat of redundancy. How simply can I put it to you and the several dullards who persist in almost willful stupidity in interpreting this union bust action as anything else. As to Astraeus, I know not and care less as to what this means for them. Thrive ,wither just step away from the Aer Lingus aircraft.
