You got to love his cheek. He really has no respect for anyone, be it his customers, the Irish in general or the EU mandarins.
So if successful in his takeover he proposes to pull AL from some routes that they and FR compete on and we are lead to believe that:-
a) BA and VS will come along to bridge the gap
b) if none of the above that there will be a knight in shining white armour that has nothing better to do with its airframes than to send them to Ireland in order to ply short haul routes
c) That FR will play the game and not force them off the routes just like he did when Easy tried doing busy in the ROI
Cloud cuckoo land stuff. And the reason that no one believes any of it is that we can all see through the smoke and mirrors and realise that all FR really wants to do is to take out a competitor and have a monopoly. BA would be more than happy as they can feed in their own aircraft to LHR for longhaul and will scoop up any slots coming available.
