Although this is a very welcome and brave effort; Filling up a hangar is hard enough to do at the best of times, but when there's no money about and cheap labour across the narrow waters...

As Saintsman says - he's got a really tough near-time future ahead of him.

Best of luck to all concerned.


Added bit...

I heartily agree about dealing with Ryanair - Mickey bought their own hangar at Preswick because no MRO could make a penny out of them and all capable companies eventually refused to do work for them without money up front.

I too have had dealings with them and learned that it's always worth keeping something handy in your back pocket
(and I still remember those plentiful galley raids at STN with a bit of glee!)
