Hi Bob,
Thanks for your interest and support and I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
Do you guys plan to strike in Dublin City Centre on Thursday outside Aviation House?
I do and I hope others will join me.
Aside from Management, are the staff in your Head offices in the City, behind you 100percent on the day?
Haven't a clue - which is an indication of the distance (physical and understanding) between controllers and other IAA staff.
Do they also recieve any financial benefits if you receieve them?
Not sure but I think other salaries are linked to controllers. And to say again, this is NOT about money. I will NOT do overtime anymore and there are others like me.
While bad publicity is annoying, we can't let it undermine us. It the end it is irrelevant to solving this. If anything it hardens my position.
Again thanks for your interest and support. For what its worth, I really hate to see air traffic disrupted - its goes against the grain - but the root cause is IAA mis-management.
