A way out!!!In Brussels today the commissioner responsible Mrs di Fudgio said that governments could bale out state airlines ONLY if they were insolvent!(I'm serious)This gives the Irish government the option of forcing AL to land in Shannon once (or more)per sector thereby saving the Shannon stopover,making AL insolvent and allowing a rescue package!!This would guarantee huge eloctorate approval and another term of office.And who says politicians are out of touch?
