Aer Lingus chiefs antagonise Government

AER LINGUS management is doing its best to alienate both workers and their political masters.

That’s the impression one could reasonably take from its actions since it first announced top management’s intention to table a management buyout (MBO).

Since then it has gone on to announce its plans to cut its workforce by a third or another 1,300 and that it is cutting back on its cargo services while also scaling back business-class services.
