Sorry have you not heard of code sharing?
I have an issue with Aer Lingus because of Irish emigrants of which I am one. Have you gotton the boat from one end of Ireland to London? Well I have and it was not pleasant. You cannot get to the USA without flying, it costs an absolute fortune even today for families to get back and now they don't know if the flights will go

which in the past when it was the staff's private travel club it did not have to do
The British airlines are not perfect either.
I'm in a similar situation but I booked BMI to fly to London for a connecting flight. They contacted me two weeks ago to notify that my scheduled flight (11am arrival) had been cancelled and the next flight would arrive at 2pm which would be too late for my connecting flight.
I then had to book an Aer Lingus flight to get me to London on time and now this is up in the air too (not literally unfortunately), I might have to give Michael a try now and ferry myself from LGW to LHR.
Aargh.
Get the firemen to support the strike -maybe the taxi's and hey presto we finally catch on to how the French people protest. We need a good strike!
I have indeed gotten the boat.
Of course you can get to USA without flying, ever heard of boats/cruise lines?
Fly with someone else, simple really.
You know very well that code sharing meant that the prices and times were the same for say British Airway, London to Dublin as it was for Aer Lingus London to Dublin. There was not even a penny in the difference.
Sorry for my bad English, well did you travel on the boat via one end of Ireland on a bus and sleep on the floor of the boat and then get a train to London, there is no one I know who enjoys that. I remember the families and the vomit and I wouldn't like to subject my family to that.
As for flying with someone else, one time there was no competition. I suppose one could always swim. I know you're being factitious about the boat to the US but it a very serious matter to people who have been looking forward to it and have saved long and hard for it. Oftentimes they only come home every other year.
There are people who have worked long and hard in Aer Lingus who are now being told they can keep their jobs alright but will be paid minimum wage, their pensions gone, and their terms and conditions of employment totally changed etc etc The very people who didn't take many pay increases from the company over the years to help ensure it's survival and now the company want to use them as whipping boys.
It's a very serious issue for 1300 people and their families.
Something like 70k?? How long are they with the company? The entry level wage to AL is €20,237.00 a full 10k less than the average industrial wage.I know of lads pulling something like 70K per annum throwing a few bags on and off planes in Shannon
Did you know Dermot Mannion got a salary in the region of 1.1 million last year ??
Yes they would be better off without him. You think that salary is justifiable when the entry level salary is 10k less than the average industrial wage? His salary is equivalent to 36.66 times the average industrial wage. Good for you if you do - you're entitled to your opinion
This is an Aer Lingus thread, couldn't care less what others are earning.
So the pilots in Aer Lingus should get paid the same as the tea ladies?Aer Lingus is a small airline in the scheme of things, remuneration should match that for all employees.

exactlyRemuneration should match responsibilty
Well what else does "remuneration should match that for all employees" mean?
