The battle between Ryanair and their pilots wages on.
The 25% of Ryanair’s pilots who are members of the Irish Air Line Pilots’ Association are following last week’s industrial action with further strikes, including a stoppage on July 24.
Ryanair has confirmed today that the industrial action has resulted in the cancellation of 16 flights next Tuesday.
The Ryanair statement also included forceful language aimed at FORSA, an Irish trade union. The statement read, “It is disgraceful that FORSA sits on its hands for over two days — without any communication since Wednesday — while thousands of Irish customers and their families have their holiday plans disrupted.”
