I presume by now that the great employees of Ireland's State airline may have braced themselves for the impending visits to the Jobcentre?
Once this deal is through, the surplus employees will be jettisoned, the best of the 'frames may be retained if they can be used in IAG mode and it will be shades of Dan-Air all over again.
It was a most unpleasant experience and I sympathise with anyone who will be negatively affected by BIGCORP on the prowl, eating and destroying anything it regards as a tasty morsel.
Anyone not recognising this behaviour please read "The Corporation", it may be out of print but copies can be obtained. Small compensation to understand what has/will happen.
