IBEC condemns pilots’ planned strike

IBEC, today described the two day strike planned next week by Aer Lingus pilots as ‘a clear example of opportunism of the worst kind by members of the pilots union IALPA, aimed at causing maximum disruption to the travelling public’.

IBEC Director Brendan McGinty said: “Disrupting Aer Lingus flights next week is clearly a self serving measure by IMPACT and fails to recognise the requirement which the company has for a competitive cost base throughout its operations”.
