I just wanted to say the anti-Irish thing is definitely happening. I am Irish and have heard nothing since finishing training 9 months ago. Everyone in my school got an interview right up to a month before I applied. Its common knowledge people. All the instructors in my school, current FR pilots etc are openly discussing it now. It's actually nothing short of a national disgrace. One of Ireland's most successful companies not interviewing Irish people. Crazy stuff. Someone ought to ring up Joe Duffy!!
