"At least read what Aer Lingus have publicly stated before talking about credibility"

Let's try this again, shall we?

"Last loss was last quarter where lost same as last year"


That's what you said. You were challenged on the basis that this is meaningless, as the annual figures show what amount to healthy profits and a healthy margin in this industry, as you should very well know.

Now, be my guest if you wish to deflect on to other areas or tidbits of data, but I and everyone else here are certainly very clear on what your claim was - that EI post losses, and that investors are concerned at this, and that this depresses the share price.

EI post a loss for one quarter (better than most!)
They post a decent annual profit.
They earn a decent margin for this industry.
They do this when their home market is in economic doldrums.

You'd probably be taken more seriously if you just admitted the above. It still does not detract from any argument you wish to make that this take over is still desirable.
