Also, will Aer Lingus still offer positions to the pilots who chose to ignore the IALPA recruitment ban and attended interviews regardless?
If they do, will there be friction amongst the TRI/TRE's who will have to train them?
And what now of the guys/gals already in the holding pool? Will they also now be disadvantaged?
I think this will probably happen, due to timescale. I, like a lot of my colleagues flying for UK airlines have shot ourselves in the foot by choosing to honour IAPLA'S request. We now won't have an equal opportunity to apply to EI for a very long time to come.
