Just take a moment there and rejoice in the misery of holiday been ruined
Anyone know if they’re gonna give notice of flights being cancelled? Or will it be a case of showing up on the day and hoping for the best. Flying on Wednesday to go to F1 in Austria so I could be truly fecked over if it’s cancelled with hotels and tickets paid for.
Can’t wait for people to have a crack at the pilots and not the multi billion euro corporation that won’t pay them a salary comparable to other IAG pilots.
I think the pilots are doing the right thing
How often do you see people posting on here about their managers asking them to do something or change something and the general sentiment is – don’t do a lick beyond what is in your contract
Well the pilots are just doing that. They’ve aren’t doing anything beyond what they signed up to do. Them doing so has meant that management haven’t hired enough people to do the job
Holiday plans for a lot of people are now currently up in the air..
I Never fly with any IAG airline for exactly this reason. Between IT crashes and bad IR, you can’t depend on them. And IAG Ireland seems to be the worst
Trip to Orlando on 27th.
All power to the pilots, but after such a shitty year, it’s going to be fairly devastating if it gets cancelled in short notice. Fuck Aer Lingus for this. Not the pilots. The greedy corporation.
EDIT: Just got a really generic “hey, there’s going to be disruptions!” email but not sure if it’s specific or a general one. Their site has crashed now too :/
The chemtrails crowd will be paying attention to the clouds.
Have a flight 4 hours into this and I bet it will be cancelled last minute. How the fuck is 20% of the business run off roster and out of hours. Is that not mental in itself?
Just pay the pilots you greedy fucks. I really don’t like flying and the idea of a pised off pilot terrifies me.
How long do ya think they’ll allow this to go on before they compromise, massive profits last year this increase is a drop in the ocean
The pilots were offered 12.9% and rejected it because they want 25%.
I don’t know anyone who got remotely close to 12.9% pay rises recently let alone 25%.
Looks like they’ve sent out emails with preemptive options for people flying on those dates.
Although wonder how much of it is to just minimize potential compensation liability if customers just refund / change flights themselves.
So the pilots are not even striking but just refusing to do unpaid overtime and this equals to 10/20% of flights cancelled by AerLingus?
Then they definitely deserve a raise if your overtime is carrying the company
Taylor Swift performing in Dublin on 6/28… this will cause some chaos.
Any business that collapses if its staff can’t do overtime is a shit business. The pilots aren’t even striking. They’re just not doing any overtime work. Fuck Aer Lingus, pay your workers.
Ah sure look it
They should hire more pilots if their roster is that stretched seriously. Crazy.
Been planning our (Covid) delayed honeymoon to Ireland for years. Finally booked and planned it all late last year and… who knew we picked the same date to start our adventure as the pilots would 😭 really coming to terms now that the whole trip will have to be canceled again
My daughter has a post leaving cert flight to party island Europe booked. Apologies to those that may be affected but I’m praying her flight gets cancelled. No dad should have to go through that.
Anyone that flies Aer Lingus deserves it.
I’ll be laughing at them while I get my Ryanair flight next week.
Probably the first time anyone has said this, but I’m going to book Air France to avoid the strikes 🪧
Had a flight today cancelled with them and that’s even before work-to-rule
IAG have run Aer Lingus into the ground
Will they be taking it from the front or the back of the plane?
This puts the “my passport is out of date and i fly tomorrow ” posts way behind on the anxiety level.
I have a flight mid day on friday 28th June to london, then a connection on to Japan…. What are the chances mine will be cancelled. Be looking forward to this holiday all year and this is turning my stomach
WTF?? What is happening here
Booked back up flights for myself with Ryanair in case my original AL ones get cancelled.
Might be worth getting yourself some insurance flights before they skyrocket.
