Aer Lingus strike: Airline reveals first 124 flights cancelled as pilots call full strike day in major escalation of dispute

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/16769411

"It’s expected that up to 40,000 passengers will hit by flight cancellations. The airline is to get in touch and offer a refund or alternative booking.
The pilots are to begin an indefinite work-to-rule from next Wednesday after balloting for industrial action, which means they will not engage in overtime or out-of-hours duties."

“The ‘work-to-rule’ announced is an insidious form of industrial action which will have a cumulative and negative impact on Aer Lingus customers”
if you have to cancel 20% of your flights because your pilots start working according to their contract, after you do not give them a pay raise that covers inflation and drag the talks out 22 months, then you are a scumbag of an employer and deserve to see how your precious company that is built on slavery goes down the drain.
- Instead, they'll pay their bottom tier employees to get berated by people with legitimate gripes, settle for a class action, and keep on sailing the skies.

Look at this leadership!
Good for pilots, fuck inconpetent management

- An international airline?
  
  An international airline, based in Ireland, with Irish labor issues, primarily impacting flights throughout Europe. ;)
  "The flights affected include short-haul flights from Dublin to Heathrow, Paris, Amsterdam, Lyons, Berlin, Birmingham, Brussels, Dusseldorf, Rome, Frankfurt, Geneva, Hamburg, Manchester, Munich and Vienna, as well as short-haul flights from Cork to Heathrow.
  Long-haul fights from Dublin to New York JFK are also hit.
  "This will impact approximately 4,000 customers per day and 20,000 customers over the course of the five days,” Aer Lingus said."

I had a girlfriend who was way to into aer lingus.
(I'm not sorry.)
- A very cunning statement
