Sorry teddyman, just can't let your last stand unchallenged. The proposed base is outside of EI's AOC and will have no link with either EI or UAL ops. Aer Lingus's survival is therefore uneffected by this propossed opperataion. What is under threat is the working lives of flight crew in Europe and the States. There is consequently considerable interest and concern in how this unfolds by all flight crew allowed to have an opinion.
As to FR. Teddy old boy, they made a loss. More money went out the door than came in. They continue to be beaten on price and service in both Ireland and the UK from which they are shrinking away. They do however make money on there German and Italian operations from which they continue to subsidies their local ops.
Fr pilots work no harder than EI pilots who work 850hrs annually but they have no right to complain on pain of dismissal.
Good luck to all involved indeed teddy but arm yourself with information before chastising "da pilots".

It's another move in a carefully choreographed union busting game. Astraeus and the UK AOC application are part of the same strategic plan.
No, don't get up, I'll let myself out .....
