Flame, differentiate between the moving of Heathrow service from Shannon to Belfast and the proposed yellow packing of flight crew at the new Belfast base. Ialpa are not going to enter into a strike on a whim, however put simply we can not allow Pilots to fly our aircraft on reduced T&C with no seniority agreement and without representation. This goes to the heart of our collective agreements and at a stroke removes Aer Lingus from those airlines with whom you can make a career.
Fly4fun, I could give you the specifics but what would be the point. The proposed new hire pilots in Belfast will not receive anything like those figures nor would the Pilots in Dublin remain on them for long.
This is an attempt at a Union bust.
