It is understood that the UK arm of Aer Lingus could take industrial action as a result of the ongoing dispute with senior management

More than 300 of Aer Lingus' 850 pilots attended the EGM in Dublin on Monday, which Ialpa said was a "very good" turnout given that up to 400 pilots were flying while the vote took place. Pic:Naoise Culhane-no fee

The executive board of the Irish Airline Pilots Association (Ialpa) said it will consider all legal avenues to protect its members and ensure aviation safety after the union unanimously passed a motion of no confidence in the chief executive and chief operating officer of Aer Lingus.

More than 350 Aer Lingus pilots attended an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on Monday evening in Dublin to discuss safety concerns following what Ialpa described as a flight interference from senior non-flying management.
