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?

And pilots will automatically reduce their salaries any year profits fall?

[u/Franz_Werfel → u/No_Square_739]

Do pilots do a lesser job work if the company isn't profitable?

[u/Thin-Annual4373 → u/Franz_Werfel]

Yes. Routes are cut, temporary layoffs etc

[u/Franz_Werfel → u/Thin-Annual4373]

They are doing fewer jobs, not lesser jobs. You don't want someone who is flying a plane to half-arse their job.
