Why didn't the Competition regulators just give the slots directly to Aer Lingus instead of this confusing arrangement? EI is a semi-LCC so would probably be cheaper without a costly wet leasing and Virgin branded excersize.
Whats confusing about a Virgin branded aircraft, crew in Virgin uniforms and a Virgin flight number?
