Aer Lingus has said it is willing to offer pay increases of 12.5%, or above if “improvements in productivity and flexibility” are discussed

Aer Lingus pilots will meet airline management today in a bid to find a breakthrough to the bitter standoff that threatens to ruin summer holiday plans and damage tourism. 

Indefinite work-to-rule action has commenced, with pilots refusing to work overtime, accept changes to set rosters, or take on out-of-hours management requests.
