The Daily PollPoll: Do you support Aer Lingus pilots' industrial action?
Aer Lingus pilots are seeking a pay increase.
SOME AER LINGUS travellers will find out today whether their flights have been cancelled.
It comes as pilots, members of the IALPA union, announced plans for industrial action in a dispute over pay, with Aer Lingus taking the step to cancel between 10% and 20% of its flights on the first five days of industrial action (which spans Wednesday 26 to Sunday 30 June).
IALPA members are seeking a pay rise of 23.8% over three years, which would be similar to what British Airways – a sister airline of Aer Lingus – awarded pilots in 2019.
The union says the increase is “clearly reasonable and affordable for a profitable company such as Aer Lingus.”
It noted that in 2023, Aer Lingus had a full year operating profit of €225 million.
So today we’re asking: Do you support Aer Lingus pilots’ industrial action?
