Let me turn it around. Are you saying nobody wants to invest in Aer Lingus? If so, what's your source to confirm this?
Nope never said that BUT you already have investors, they called shareholders.
Any NEW investment would be required to make return for shareholders plus the return for new investors plus return for the business.
Are you saying Willie Walsh never cited the pension deficit as a reason not to invest?
WW a really genuine nice guy but he will answer whatever question you ask him, neither giving any info away nor telling you of his intentions and leave you to interpret it whatever way you like.
He is pretty good at it as well. He has to be as if he made the incorrect comment then IAG could have regulatory problems.
Are you saying Aer Lingus presents no opportunities to potential investors and no possibility of a ROI (assuming the pension issue is resolved)? How do you know what IAG, Etihad, or any investment fund wants in return for their investment?
Ask yourself what they want from it and how soon.
IAG......................slots at LHR plus feed in traffic, Irish T/A traffic dead apart from Irish American cities (NY/Chicago/Bos) and cut employee numbers for a satellite base called Dublin.
E
d......................no comment based on PPruNe rules but beware US everchanging rules
Investment Fund..............lets see a minimum of €5 for every €1 they put in within a 3 year time frame
