Trainee pilots to picket Dáil on Wednesday

Trainee pilots, who were stranded in the US when their course with the Pilot Training College in Waterford collapsed, are to picket the Dáil on Wednesday.

They are also seeking a meeting with Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar.

Around 80 Irish and other students were left without flight training earlier this month due a dispute with the Florida Institute of Technology.

The pilots and their parents today launched an action group in Dublin in an effort to keep the issue in the spotlight until a solution is found.
