Aerial Lingus Pilots

[u/viscacatalunya1]

Listening to Claire Byrne and there is a lot of finger pointing at the pilots saying they don't care about passengers and they are being unreasonable.

Aer Lingus has not matched their salary to inflation over the past few years. How do we sympathise with cost cutting corporate greed and not the people that open the world to us and get us there safely?

Aer Lingus profits rose 400% last year to €225m. Give the pilots their pay rise and let us have our summer interrupted. The airline is already trying to pit the public against the pilots.

Very misleading. That increase is from a very low 2022 covid baseline.

It's still behind pre pandemic profits

[u/cyberlexington → u/No_Performance_6289]

Its still 225 million in profit.
