BFS and DUB is the same local market. There is realistically no difference. This point has already been answered anyway by An Paddy Eile.
They are not the same market. They have totally different economic realities and it wasn't addressed/ You can get a 4 bedroom house in Belfast for £215K or EUR316!! And that is in an upcoming area. Do you know what you would pay for that house in Dublin?
Even in an upmarket area a 5 bed house is £400K or EUR588....! Do you know what a 5 bed house would cost in Castleknock, Malahide, Portmarnock even in Swords...? That is a massive difference between the two areas just on house costs. Have you ever seen the difference between the prices of cars between here and the UK? There is a massive difference.
Why can't the BFS base be under the same T+C's? It is the same market and it is regulated and contracted under Irish law so why does it not follow the same conditions? Again it has no bearing of where the base is.
Are you really asking that?? So again, a US multinational should have exactly the same terms of employment offered here as they do in the US? Even though there is a different tax system, fiscal environment etc etc??
Again you're trying to excuse the actions here of AL pilots when there is no excuse for this. Simplistic guessing as to what might happen in the future....
And yet again, tumbleweed blows through this thread when the word "Customers" is mentioned. No pilot here seems willing to discuss what it means to them or their possible future attitude to AL. Amazing.
AL does not exist simply for your benefits and your pay packet.
