Differences of opinion on Ryanair

I refer to the article by Paul Mills (Business, Aug 15). He is not short of opinions. However in this case his opinions are based on a substantial number of errors of fact and appreciation.

He claims that there is no such thing as low pilot salaries, implying that no pilots ever earn less than bus drivers (he is wrong). He then moves on to refer to myself as president of Aer Lingus pilots union, adopting the factually incorrect language favoured by Ryanair (in fact IALPA has more Ryanair pilot members than Aer Lingus members).

He seems unaware that Aer Arran do not recognise IALPA.
