Always the same negativity racedo, post after post...year after year...its just so terribly sad. I suspect you are being deliberately obtuse in answering Waffler, who points out quite clearly that Aer Lingus's financial position is quite remarkably sound especially given the back drop of economy and local government subsidised competition. Admittedly money was wasted when a ryan air accountant popped in to show all "how it's done" but much of what you contend has cultivated a very lean machine. A machine so lean that they are making profit! Lets stick to the facts; Aer Lingus makes money. Aer Lingus competes in its market and wins. MOL wants to buy it for expressly those reasons. Hope you slept well, now pop a downer and retort...you know you're gonna!
ps. most carriers lose money over the winter racedo its the nature of the beast..suppose they could just ground the fleet on some remote airstrip for the duration but that doesn't do much for connectivity for Ireland which is kind of the point of having an air fleet but suspect that'll go over your head.
Why not address the issues rather than another personal dig.
