You sure?

No they aren't.

Never flown with them but you're the first person I've ever heard say something positive about them.

Well they've taken over some Ryanair routes, which is an improvement. It's actually not bad if you don't mind a 42 seat propeller plane.

Oh the propellor planes are good fun, reminiscent a supposedly glorious age of air travel that I never experienced. If they can emulate the crews of the past it could be even better.

Can Aer Linus? Or will they go down the same road?

I hope they don't; I don't mind paying a little more for my ticket if that means that I don't have to think about my baggage and I don't have to share a confined space with smelly oiks.

The buggers always charge me, but maybe because I fly Aer Lingus Regional, which is really Aer Arran.
