Hopefully break IMO.This issue could make or break the union's -probably break.
Wouldn't that be just desserts for AL. "Oohh look at us, we're the flag carrier". AL are Ryanair under a different guise, and with unions. They're dragging the company down due to their ignorange of the real-world environment. No sympathy for them.I would predict that Aer Lingus will struggle on through another year or so of industrial relations problems, and then will be taken over by Lufthansa or by Ryanair.
You would want to be some fool to book those flights.[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]All USA destinations are reduced - prices start from just €149 one way incuding (their typo) taxes and fuel surcharge. So whether you want to experience the magic of Christmas shopping in the States, pay a visit to friends or family or just take a well-earned break in 2009, book your low fare to the USA now![/FONT] [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]

My exact knowledge amounts to all that has been in the media over recent years. Strikes, opposition to changes in working practises etc. None of this has helped anyone except the unions.Will you enlighten us to your exact knowledge of the Aer Lingus situation? Do you know/understand the sacrifices the staff have made over the years to save the company from bankruptcy in the past? Sounds like you know nothing IMO.
The workers should bankrupt the company if they have to. At the end of the day most will loose their jobs and they will get paid even if the Government have to step in. This issue could make or break the union's -probably break. They should get advice from the union's in Dublin Bus -love them or hate them they do seem tobe the only union left in this country with any bottle. Why did the Government hold on to shares?
Have a nice day!
Can you tell me why you pay in full in advance? I know MOST hotels in North America allow you to cancel up to 4pm day of arrival and most guest houses and B&B's up to a week beforehand so why have you and "others" paid for the accomodation in full in advance ??
Strikes, opposition to changes in working practises etc
I would say that one should be wary about booking any flights out of Dublin Airport around this time. If there are pickets placed outside it could cause chaos at the airport for the duration.Some staff from other airlines and ancillary services will not pass an official picket.
I'm going to a ski resort and due to the fact that we will be there over the weekend closest to new year (one of their busiest weekends of the year), they requested payment in full in advance and it has to be cancelled 30 days prior in order to receive a full refund.
Are we talking about that magnificent 'Irish' company who charged so much that Irish emigrants in the UK/USA etc could not afford to fly home at Christmas. Lovely 'free' breakfast though for only IEP500 per person. We really miss that. And what have the staff to say to all those who have already booked their Christmas flights, often their one and only flight home. Who's making the sacrifice here, the staff or the customers?Will you enlighten us to your exact knowledge of the Aer Lingus situation?
