Who was it reconfigured Aer Lingus as a low cost airline again?
This goes off-topic, but this point really does need to be nailed since it keeps being repeated in this thread. There seems to be a view that the Aer Lingus problems are somehow the fault of Walsh. His actions are in fact the reason EI exist at all. The view that they somehow exist in a vacuum is some distance from the truth. His policies were vital to stop EVERYONE losing their jobs and the airline going pop, it was that bad a situation.

To suggest that the job losses and struggles of this carrier would not have happened otherwise is simply wrong. They would in all probability have collapsed.

Apologies mods, but various people keep saying this.
