Why should the title be changed to Aer Lingus
Regional? Is this not an Aer Lingus incident? The passengers presumably bought tickets on Aer Lingus?
When Colgan stuffed a Dash 8 into a house in Clarence NY, Continental were at immediate pains to try and distance themselves from any connection to the accident. Unfortunately all the passengers were holding Continental Airlines tickets, and when they bought the tickets expected the same level of safety and professionalism from the operation as if it were CAL mainline. The one enduring image of that event was of a full CAL logo on the tail sticking up out of the wreckage.
I guess my point is I will be interested to see how Aer Lingus
PR handles this - thankfully minor event though it is. It is certainly an Aer Lingus event to handle. By saying it was Aer Lingus Regional, is a different message trying to be sent? How interesting.
