2. Were any other Aer Lingus people included among the negotiators selected by the union?
3. If not, what other airlines had negotiators selected by the union?
4. What reason did Ryanair give for doing a 180. Who (no names) did they object to?
If you are unwilling to provide answers to these questions then your statement quoted above remains unsubstantiated and mere hearsay.
Answers to your questions below;
1. None of Ryanairs business,
2. Irrelevant,
3. Who they choose to negotiate is up to them, and
4. All of the above
Ryanair doesn’t get a say in who they negotiate with. If Ryanair pilots showed up with the tooth fairy, and the SWAPA negotiating committee, it’s still none of their business. Your list of questions, is really a list of excuses and fears. Niether of which bode well for the Ryanair ‘negotiators’.
