Bearcat, supply and demand? Get real, supply and demand have lead Ryanair to ground 70/80 aircraft for the winter. Why don't they use these aircraft to kill off EI? Or do you believe its genius to borrow millions for non performing assets while you allow them to depreciate while spending money maintaining and parking them?
Brian, AL are lucky? Yea, you're absolutely right, there lucky they're not expanding in a contracting market ( that continues to burn while the eurocrats dither ). Or maybe luck is to do with hard work and 75 years of experience.
Is it not about time we get over this Ryan v EI BS. Both companies are making money and are Irish. Both have skeletons in their closest and both have made some bizarre business decisions over the years. Hers the good news, they're both Irish and are still here serving our little island in a time when airlines are falling weekly.
Good luck to them both.
Dry your eyes lads, leave the mines bigger than yours for some other aspect of your lives.
