Aer Lingus pilots launch work-to-rule action in bitter dispute over pay
Aer Lingus work to rule
AER LINGUS pilots launched industrial action today, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights and disrupting tens of thousands of journeys.
Pilots imposed work-to-rule actions, refusing to work overtime, accept changes in set rotas or take out-of-hours management requests. An eight-hour strike is planned on Saturday.
The flag carrier of Ireland and its pilots have been locked in a bitter dispute over pay, with pilots seeking an increase of 24 per cent to keep pace with inflation since their last pay raise in 2019.
