And still the questions go unanswered! The other Aer Lingus workers, the customers etc etc all discarded...
1) The Job and Work security agreement does not apply to ROI pilots
It
DOES apply to ROI pilots because AL only had ROI bases when you negotiated. You can't turn around when the airline opens up a base in
another country and somehow claim that
ROI agreements negotiated by
ROI unions have validity in other countries! SIPTU/IMPACT/MANDATE etc etc have no authority in other countries. Pretending that somehow they do, doesn't make it so.
6) These agreements apply because they are between the company and its Pilots. Not between ROI pilots and the company. (If you had these docs you would have seen this).
Wrong again. Prior to Belfast you only
had ROI pilots. Surely common sense dictates that the opening of a new base starts the whole thing off again.
5) A Belfast/Warsaw/Birmingham Aer Lingus pilot is just that. An Aer Lingus Pilot.
What kind of statement is that?? You telling me that Microsoft workers earn the same wage and earn the same conditions in Redmond as they do in other countries?!
Sorry lads, you're actually the only ones on this particular merry go round. In the court of public opinion, nobody is with you on this. And if this is really all you got, then you really are in trouble.
You don't care what I and other shareholders think, so why should we all care what you think? You want to bring this airline down, go right ahead.
