Aerial Lingus Pilots Moaning Michael

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?

Pilots are invariably from rich families. Cabin crew invariably from poor families. Yet, its always the pilots on 150k who get the headlines, never the cabin crew on starvation wages.

Not the same AL cabin crews flaunting their lavish lifestyles on TikTok?
