Though doesnt EI at BFS trade under Aer Lingus UK? thus meaning the staff are on UK contracts and not entitled to the same terms as DUB based crew. Also was there not something a while back about EI having acquired a UK operating AOC
Something was done last year or the year before.. as it was Astraeus staff who flew flights from BFS for a couple of months using EI a/c.. as far as i can remember anyway
