This issue has dominated the minds of the thousands of people who work for Aer Lingus, as well as the 15,000 members of the Irish airlines superannuation scheme, IASS, the overwhelming majority of whom are former Aer Lingus workers and who are looking at this bid with a great degree of fear. They would like to know whether it is possible to learn what is going on with the bid at present.
