Same old same old. He only works in round 500's or 1,000's. In Dublin there were going to be how many jobs created with his move to Hangar 6? Then how many were "lost" to Prestwick when the DAA and Irish government didn't open up the cheque book for him. No doubt the dole queues in Scotland have now emptied with his massive investment.

FR is punishing the government with their immense purchasing power and right they are.
Ah what purchasing power? Now lets see he flies EI registered aircraft, has crews paid through intermediary agencies who will themselves be paying tax (if at all) in some other jurisdiction, his company pays naff all in corporate tax due to taking advantage of accelerated depreciation on his Boeing orders.

His "purchasing power" certainly had Airbus racing to sign up his business during the summer didn't it? Or maybe not.
