Talks Due On Aer Lingus Dispute
Management and unions at Aer Lingus are expected to attend talks arranged by the Labour Relations Commission this weekend in a bid to prevent a stoppage at the airline next week.
The company has given its 480 pilots until lunchtime on Monday to co-operate with the airline's new Belfast hub, or face being taken off the payroll.
Seven pilots have already been suspended for refusing to train staff.
Speaking on RTÉ's Prime Time programme last night, Aer Lingus Chief Executive Dermot Mannion declined to say whether the company would attend fresh talks.
He said there had to be a reasonable basis for substantive progress being made before management could agree to anything.
