Aer Lingus has told unions it is halting payment of all wage increases, including increments, until the long-running dispute over the massive deficit in its pension fund is resolved.
The airline was due to resume paying increments in April following a three-year pay freeze.
The deficit in the joint Aer Lingus - Dublin Airport Authority scheme known as the Irish Aviation Superannuation Scheme stood at over €770m in December.
