It would appear that Aer Lingus are going to stay in the Oneworld Alliance. Now that three of the key management team of Aer Lingus are leaving, I wonder if they will re-align any of their products (business class back in short ahul before it's gone?)?

Although Aer Lingus is now doing well, I reckon that the staff would be happy to see business class back in short haul, and a dropping of the low fares tag - Ireland is such a small country that everyone knows how much it costs to fly with Aer Lingus and Ryanair! Why can't Aer Lingus do what BA did and just drop the fares while maintaining a similiar level of service - would that not work? (I know the European service is not (or hasn't been) doing great with BA - I wonder how much they've improved revenue on short-haul servies recently?)...
