It is obvious that there is a great deal of concern regarding what is in the ether at present. In the context of what Captain Cullen and Mr. Reidy had to say, there is also much misinformation. People's jobs are at stake and it is not just a case of connectivity, although that is an issue of major concern in the mid-west region where I live. A great deal of emotive language is being used. In terms of the general discussion, it would be helpful if we could focus on the salient points relating to the impact any change in the governance of the airline might have. There is a danger that people might begin showboating in respect of this very sensitive issue. That could cause much damage.
