Poll: 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?

    By definition.

    In short, 50% of voters are some level of stupid.

    Research has also shown that there is a correlation between low intelligence and support for right wing groups.

    @David Cotter: the Nazi party was indeed voted in and there ended democracy because they ruled absolutely, destroying democracy in prewar Germany. Something, thankfully, that none of the normal parties here have ever hinted at. That said, smaller parties like Independant Ireland with their far right views, and Irish Freedom who want an Irish version of Brexit, scare me because if either of them got in to government, and got what they wanted, ( and remember the Greens wielded that kind of power last time around) ,would put Ireland back to being a 3rd world country, like we were before our participation in the EU.

    @Conor O Keeffe: just because the majority didn’t vote as you did, does not make it an undemocratic process. You have to remember that those topping the polls have proven themselves to their constituents. Look at Lowry in Tipperary and the Healy-Raes in Kerry, independent candidates that may not have much influence, but have proven themselves. Now look at how the Greens have nearly been wiped out because of the policies they brought in.

    Too many TD’s, 174 is way too many. We need reform of the numbers & to get rid of the Seanad & Presidency, too many leaching off the teat of the Taxpayer & yes I did vote to get rid of the Seanad previously. We have elected people in the past who even went on holidays during the Election ! We need more accountability from politicians & instead of appointing more TD’s, they should increase the number of Ministers, to give priority to certain areas, such as Disabilities, Carers etc. If Ireland & all its political class don’t reform & change, implement transparency, be accountable & stop the Spin, the people are going to change it for them.

    It’s tough times, but all these people on here calling Ireland a kip and the like are a joke. I left Ireland 15 years ago and moved to Australia, due to recession/no prospects, etc. But I never forget where I came from, I understand times are hard because I went through it in GFC, but the thing that has made me successful in Australia is remembering the great country that I grew up in – Ireland. It has culture, history, passion and pride like no other, that’s what makes us proud to be Irish. The political situation at the moment is poor and people have the right to complain and take action, that’s the only way to improve. But don’t call
    Ireland a kip,when you emigrate you realise the country you emigrate to usually has better prospects, but it can never compare to the pride of being Irish

    Pretty sad stuff that people continue to vote for the same old stale establishment politics of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil which have trashed this country. Are 40% of this country really just plain sadists? Do they enjoy the high taxes, the high crime, the big bureaucratic government, the inefficient HSE and the wacky environmental policies like “Net Zero” and the carbon tax? The most disappointing statistic is that the Social Democrats got nearly 6% of the vote. The Social Democrats are a radical far-left party who have identical policies to PBP. The only difference is that they mask their radical nature because Holly Cairns doesn’t shout her head off like Rich Boy Barrett and instead soothes people under the guise of “compassion” into voting for a “kinder” PBP.

    @Minnie Mouse: I gave my number 1 vote to Alan Shatter and I ranked no one else. All the other options in my constituency weren’t up to standard. Shatter was the only candidate who bothered to personally reach out to me by email to give my a layout of his policy positions. He wants to abolish inheritance and property taxes, he wants to privatise some of the HSE and cut administrative staff by 15%, he wants to scrap rent control and price controls on childcare, he wants to double the number of Garda officers on the street, he wants to scrap the “Net Zero” targets and the carbon tax and he strongly supports Israel and Ukraine. He’s the only person with common sense right-wing policies and I was proud to give him my vote yesterday.

    To judge from last night’s comments there are a lot of people out there who don’t fully understand how PRSTV works, or maybe they’re just hoping for the best. For them, and others, here’s a little explainer.
    The number of seats a party wins is close to its share of first preference votes. Larger parties tend to get a bonus, on average FF and FG have won 6-7% more seats than their share of the vote – so they would get perhaps 22% of the seats with 20% of first preferences on a good day.
    The most important determinant of who wins seats in each constituency is the number of first preferences. About 90% of seats go to the candidates who finish in the first 3 places in 3-seaters, in the first 4 places in 4-seaters, in the

    @lesidees: ..first 5 places in 5 seaters.

    Transfers are less influential than we sometimes think. They mostly serve to confirm the results of the first count. That’s because most votes never get transferred: in 2020, for example, there were nearly 2.2 million votes (first preferences) cast. The total number of transfers, including second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth…. preferences, was not much more than one-third of this, at 0.8 million.

    Why are most votes not transferred? Because most votes go to the successful candidates, and most of their votes are never transferred – most surpluses are a quite small percentage of the quota.

    I hope that helps

    @Trump24: FG’s Rental Trap is probably burnt out or tallying, he was on night & day in the weeks prior to election, between himself the Doe family & the Brendan/Kevin spin dept, ordinary voices were been drowned out, which is how they all operate online, their mantra is “control the narrative”. Ironically, people were looking for alternatives, but the likes of FG’s Rental Trap actually turned people off, especially when the mask slipped every now & then.

    People don’t vote for change. People change and then vote. For the 3 weeks of campaigning posters here on The Journal were exchanging childish insults. And now that voting has taken place and the counting has begun they are STILL trading insults. They haven’t changed. And then they are surprised when others haven’t changed. And start insulting them again. It’s a funny old world.
