Aer Lingus buyout plan is a conflict of interest

I AM appalled by the proposal for a management buyout of Aer Lingus. This flies in the face of honesty and fair trading.

It is such a glaring conflict of interest for the very people who are charged with managing the company and returning it to profitability now to attempt to purchase the airline.

What of all the people who have lost their jobs, and what of all of us travellers who are subjected to the hardships of fewer routes and less seats?
