Madam, - Having seen the pros and cons of the debate about the possible merger of Aer Lingus and Ryanair, and though the weight of argument seems to favour it, I hope it does not happen.

When I tire of Ryanair's good value but unfriendly service and sneaky website it is a relief to be able occasionally to change to Aer Lingus's more relaxed user-friendly welcome.

I dread the thought of doing a ten-and-a-half hour flight to San Francisco with a more Ryanair-like merged company. - Yours, etc,
