Aer Lingus pilots respond to Mannion

Thursday, 16 August 2007 12:15

The president of the Irish Airline Pilots' Association, Evan Cullen, has told RTE he responded this morning to an e-mail sent by Aer Lingus chief executive, Dermot Mannion last night

Captain Cullen said the IALPA response, which was faxed, stated the pilots' position that they wish to engage in talks about the crewing of the airline's new Belfast base.

He said he wanted to give the airline's management time to consider fully the content of the fax that he had sent.

Aer Lingus chief executive Dermot Mannion contacted IALPA last night to say it was 'agreeable' to meeting pilots. The IMPACT union, to which IALPA is affiliated, had previously rejected an earlier offer from Aer Lingus of possible discussions as 'insincere'.
