FR bid
OK so most of us rational aviation profesionals got good news today.
I have worked for both airlines and am not currently in an airline so I do want both of them to be a continued success.
FR board.... getting more Irish and politicaltoo.....Julie is interesting she saved FR back in the day they were bankrupt, she got TD Brennan to get EI out of STN , the ideawas to have two Irish airlines competing against non Irish airlines....nice to see her influence already .
MOL loosing his moutpiece , young Steve, wonder why they fell out ?
Thousands of Iirsh real Iirsh real tax paye paying jobs saved by todays decision , against FR agency staffing policy...
Arill challenges for EI , MOL is right they need to grow and there is no growth in Ireland or UK
So that list, a very short list these days of EU , winter sun shine based , airbus airlines that good be bought ha to be dusted down by Hangar 6...
EI cannot make a profit in all 4 quarters of the year, three is impressive but nov-jan is brutal on all Northern Hemiphere airlines , so EI must get an outlet where they can send 6 hulls and crew to work a winter for profit....
They tried this with WW in PMI before , this needs a re visit .
Being able to move your fleet to a profitable location was what started FR back in the day, EI moved a B747 to Thailand
Time to look at this a gain.
Oddly enough given their cash and good current KPI 's the time is right to purchase ....
any specualtion on what airline is up for sale with something to offer, ?
