    A bit like the cars they make. 'German efficiency' is a misnomer

    Cheers. Only problem is that my flight on Wednesday morning normally arrives tomorrow night and leaves first thing on Wednesday. Probably will be delayed now. Frankfurt will probably be chaos on Wednesday too.

    No you're fine. It's here already, been parked over on the west apron since lunchtime today when it came in. It'll be dragged over later tomorrow night for the LH983 on wed morning.

    You can expect an on time departure...your A321 is parked up in Dublin.

    Yup. Aren't EI staff taking a 20% reduction in pension entitlements under the proposal?

    Read elsewhere that if the current plan does not happen the current workers will get 15%

    Is that 15% of a reduction or 85%?

    My understanding was that if the current plan is not passed the pension fund will be closed and existing pensioners will the preferential treatment (due to the way the law is set up) and current workers paying into the fund will get 5-15% of what they expected.
