Talks between the Irish Air Line Pilots’ Association and Aer Lingus ended without agreement last night.
A written statement from Aer LIngus read: “Aer Lingus met with IALPA again today for direct discussions with a view to reaching agreement on pilot pay. No meaningful progress was made, with IALPA continuing to demand an unsustainable level of increase in pilot pay (up to 23.88pc) that was not supported by any increases in productivity or flexibility. Aer Lingus offered to continue to engage in direct discussions on meaningful productivity and flexibility proposals to enable increased pay. Aer Lingus also offered to request the support of the Workplace Relations Commission in order to further explore solutions. Both of these offers were rejected by IALPA.”
