Ah don't you just love Unions looking after the welfare of people ...............course there are now 30 people who just may not feel a union is for them.
This is classic union busting I think. Only
four cabin crew on a long haul transatlantic operation is unheard of. I suspect it's a ruse to close the Shannon base and allow ACL to crew the operation from day 1. Tart them up in a green uniform and Joe Public won't think they're not Aer Lingus. If ACL are supplying the pilots anyway, I imagine them supplying the cabin crew is a win for EI. All EI have to do is make the existing crew an offer no reasonable minded existing crew would willingly accept and they can then paint them as dinosaurs.
It's not worded as "Would you like to work long haul with the smallest compliment of B757 cabin crew on the North Atlantic?"
