It was in today's IoS Business section. I don't think it is online, and I'm not about to type it out, but the thrust is that Ryanair are preparing a legal challenge to the bail-out under European competition law, because they reckon that the 8% increase in route charges will benefit the airlines that are part of TAG, but not the others who will be making a 'forced investment' that they will get no financial return on.

Before everyone jumps on Ryanairs case, the article also quotes a report from NATS to the CAA which says that if the bail-out does not go through then 'there is a very strong prospect of NATS return to the public sector'.
