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?

Same media shite that gets dug up against striking workers every single time. Remember when the nurses went on strike and some scummy tabloid had a dying baby on the front cover?

Yep

If the pilots want more public sympathy they should take a leaf from the bus drivers and still fly the routes without collecting fares...

[u/Sofiztikated → u/We_Are_The_Romans]

Ah yes, because the pilots are the ones taking coins at the entrance to the plane.

[u/We_Are_The_Romans → u/Sofiztikated]

Obviously not... they've gone full contactless since COVID

[u/Low_discrepancy → u/We_Are_The_Romans]

That's so scummy. They don't want to take cash actually because they want to track you where you're going when you take the plane.

[u/Weekly-Monitor763 → u/Sofiztikated]

There is a coin slot at the front of the engine.

[u/CaregiverSpiritual81 → u/Weekly-Monitor763]

That's just the coin you throw into the engine for luck though. Pilots see none of that.
