THE Labour Relations Commission (LRC) has little more than 48 hours to find a resolution between Aer Lingus and its 480 pilots before they are suspended and thousands of passengers are grounded.

Labour group has 48 hours to resolve Aer Lingus row

The airline last night agreed that along withpilots’ representatives IALPA and IMPACT it will go for talks at the LRC where both will lay out their position over appointment of pilots for the new Belfast base. There is no guarantee they will even meet face-to-face if the LRC sees no room for agreement.

Whether those talks will be successful will be evident fairly quickly and, if not, the pilots will have until Monday at 1pm to toe the company line and help train pilots for the new base or else face mass indefinite suspension from 3am on Tuesday.
