There is no doubt that the good weather this summer has impacted on all airlines, however let's examine Aer Lingus a little closer. Hire in bill running somewhere between 5 & 10 million euros due to messing up basic man power requirements over the busy months. Also it would be interesting to know how the Virgin Red side show is performing, I believe the penalising nature of the contract signed with Virgin is horrendous . One minute late pushing back off stand = €€€ in fines to Aer Lingus.
Somebody sanctioned all of this , I wonder will there be accountability ...
