Aer Lingus cabin crew threaten to back pilots

CABIN CREW at Aer Lingus have threatened to join the airline’s pilots in their industrial protest over pay and conditions on offer at the company’s proposed new Belfast base.

The company has refused to discuss almost two-thirds of the topics put forward by pilots’ representatives last week.

The pilots’ unions issued a wish-list of topics, understood to be 14 last Thursday, which they wanted to debate with the airline in the Labour Relations Commission (LRC).
