Pilots strike while bosses give themselves 66% raise

Over the last number of days we have been given detailed figures of the pay structure of Aer Lingus pilots. 

Ialpa president, Mark Tighe has clearly explained why pilots are looking for a 24 per cent pay increase. 

He has also told the public on many media outlets that the executives of Aer Lingus gave themselves a pay increase of over 66 per cent earlier this year.

On the other hand, is Ialpa aware of how much people on the lowest Aer Lingus pay grade earn?

The divide between rich and poor grows with every pay rise.

And all the time not a word about the pay scales Ryanair pays its pilots.
