I could spell out some of the terms but I don't wish to swear on this forum.
I can understand that many people at the moment will be under alot of pressure to get a job. It's a steady job with plenty of flying and a steady (if rather poor) rate of pay. So if you are a low houred pilot then EI is as good as anywhere else to start.
However, if you experienced and are coming from another airline with the lure of working in Ireland under the same terms and conditions neatly outlined in ppjn, then please think long and hard before coming. You will be sadly disappointed.
Some questions you may wish to ask at the interview:
Bond (esp if you are A320 rated)
Base freeze
Tax
In the same vain that "all that glitters isn't gold", " all that is green isn't Aer Lingus". IALPA is working on it but with MOL lurking in the background there are bigger fish to fry at the moment.
Good luck to all who apply.
