What kind of BA agenda are you pushing here? Don't you realise how ridiculous you sound?
This chap has no relation with BA, believe me, he's a 21 year old college student fan boy. He is the one and only person on my ignore list as he has taken to writing 2000-3000 word posts at a time on some of the other previously interesting threads.
This is an interesting time for Aer Lingus though as their nemesis has just taken their last new aircraft on order and so is about to undergo something of a step change in cost base. Also with no prospect of ownership, would be expecting FR to bail out as soon as possible?
