How,how are there going to be transfers between the bases soon airgirl?!?
All pilots paid the same at a base. Aircraft will be moved out of Dublin and based at Belfast, Gatwick, .... and Dublin will absolutely lose aircraft to these bases (because it will have a higher cost base). No more aircraft means no more commands, jobs or career prospects in Dublin ever. There will never be an opportunity to bid back to Dublin as it will for ever be in surplus and fighting a rear guard action to protect its own T&C's. Result, the net degradation of T&C's at Aer Lingus.
As to your last point. It is simply not true. DM has not committed to say it will have no effect because he knows it to be incorrect he is doing this to reduce his cost base. Now wake up, no one wants this strike but DM and if we are to succeed then all of us need to be resolute. Hold the line, airgirl.
