Ryanair pilots call off pre-Christmas strike

Ryanair pilots are to suspend a planned one-day strike on Wednesday after company management agreed to recognise the union as the representative of Irish-based pilots.

In a statement issued last night, Impact said it has agreed to meet Ryanair management tomorrow evening, but stressed that it is available to meet sooner.

The union asked management to release its Ryanair pilot representatives to prepare for and attend the meeting.
