Last Thursday, Aer Lingus was informed by Impact that they will not agree to crewing the Boeing 757 operations,” an airline spokesman said. “We were obliged to instruct ACL that they should start recruiting to crew the aircraft. As a direct result, Aer Lingus, rather than growing its cabin crew employee numbers, will now have a surplus of cabin crew. We have therefore had to notify a group of 30 recently hired cabin crew trainees that their training has been cancelled with immediate effect, as the roles for which they were training will no longer exist in Aer Lingus.
Surely these Cabin Crew would then just run across the road to ACL for a job!
