I understand that an agreement was reached which has removed the threat of strike action. The only part of it which I know about is that there will be no compulsory redundancies.
Well done guys and gals, I'm delighted that I no longer have to fear Ryanair taking over as "my" national airline. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Good Luck.

Astounding.
Have read through every post on this topic it now looks like there will be no strike action, there will be no immediate redundancies, there will be no reduction in pay or conditions and if the media are to believed (yeh ok i know) as of Friday there will be no airline.
Post 11th September just when airlines could do without it its not the drop in passenger traffic that will bring them down its the poor timed demands of air crew.
It might well be 97% voting for this action but I suggest you all
print off these posts and read them through when and if the airline grinds to a halt, as previous posts have commented AL is a fantastic operator full of the very best in the profession however
possibly this time the aircrew have made a life changing decision for many.

If you boys strike this week as the media are reporting, you really need to think long and hard about it. There are alot of people that are treated very badly by there employer but most just get on with it. You boys and girls should pull together and make your company work. Do not destroy Aer Lingus it has been a good company in the past and it can be good again. If you don't it looks like curtains for you all.

Hudson Bay,
All the Aer Lingus pilots are asking for is the same flight time duty time rules the replacement carrier's pilots will be operating under.
That's ironic, isn't it?
Aer Lingus has a long tradition of safe operation.
Willie is prepared to risk that in the days/weeks leading up to his burgeoning oportunity to lead an investment consortium interested in owning 35% of Aer Lingus.
I don't blame anyone on the planet for improving their lot. Doing it on the backs of former colleagues in a get rich quick scheme heading for a calamity isn't the best way to achieve it though.
At the very least Aer Lingus' future passengers deserve better!
Cheers,
