Aer Lingus pilots aligned to the IALPA (Irish Airline Pilots’ Association) trade union have been seeking a near 24% pay rise and recently voted against a 9.25% interim increase recommended by the Labour Court. They are currently balloting the question of strike action – which, if voted for, could majorly disrupt Aer Lingus flights around the end of this month.
IALPA has claimed pilot pay currently does not reflect Aer Lingus profits and inflation.
