Under the work to rule, pilots will not operate outside of hours or accept changes to rosters, removing the flexibility that Aer Lingus needs to fly its busy summer schedule.Aer Lingus services face disruption as pilots begin work to rule in pay rowGrowing fears that Aer Lingus pilots’ work-to-rule could lead to chaos at Dublin Airport

The union is seeking a pay increase of around 24 per cent, which it argues is in line with what pilots at other airlines have received and is reasonable during a cost of living crisis, is planning to strike on Saturday, June 29th, between 5am and 1pm. She said that was “definitely a possibility if there’s any sort of air traffic control issues or if there is any other reason an aircraft is delayed and the outbound pilots say they can’t fly because if they do they will be out of hours because of the work-to-rule”.

“Considering that, Ialpa urges Aer Lingus to set a date and a time to reconvene negotiations to try and avert industrial action this coming Saturday,” he added.
