The greed in this country is sickening 🤬🤬.!!! Herb ☘️🇮🇪🙏

Miriam o'callaghan's husband wheeled into a high paying job in RTE Also, salaries of the 'stars' will not be disclosed retired ministers etc eg Bertie Ahern receives a PENSION of 137,000 euros p.a.! Let that sink in.

Bord gais is not an Irish company anymore, government sold that off too, English owned now,where's all the money gone??

The only thing they can't buy is time.

When the irish government(fine gael) sold out our national airline (aer lingus)to AIG, AiG kept the name on the tin with the same label Aer lingus Which is Airline in irish.... AIG refuse to pay what the contract states the promised the pilots, so the pilots are only standing up for what they are entitled too. Aer lingus was sold to help the bailout with the banks back in 2011

It’s not like fares are any cheaper than other airlines.

Brilliant analysis Pete

You'd make a great social juctice minister Peter....you always have the facts..

They are some of the highest paid people in the country. Lower end is something around 130k per year up to 250k per year and they want a 25% pay jump, they also say they havent got a pay jump in a couple of years when in their contracts they get them ever single year, they didnt get any extra outside of the contracts the last time was 2 or 3 years ago and that was also a good jump as well. They also work less hours with the same pay per year after action they done a couple of years ago meaning more pilots had to be hired at the same pay rates to keep the airline running. On top of that they also have massive benifts from health to retirement. Yeah these people are not the working class factory types they are trying to make themselves out to be.

​@@yagsipcc287Great points, although I would say they deserve to be well paid!

Trying to get by on 27k euro a year I'm sorry it's hard to feel sorry for anyone on over 100k a year. The greed in this country is sickening

That's completely true and a fair point but If you are on 100k you are most likely bringing more to the table than someone on 27k

Remember the pilots are paid between something like 130-250k Euro! per year! depending on how long they are there. They get yearly pay ups even though they said they dont, they are working less hours now than they were a couple years ago for the same pay meaning more pilots were hired to cover it. These are some of the highest paid people in the country with some of the best benfits you can get.

@@laoch5658 how about paying the other staff more over the most paid people.

And remember while 100 thousand were on the streets protesting water charges...which was a bad hill to die on ....meanwhile at the same time the government sold its controlling share in air lingus ...now we are seeing the effects of that ..its making 400 million a year 🤦 I'm still in shock as to how dumb those water protests were ...the government got the taxes anyway and our water is bad in many places ...

It was reported that Captains receive up to 375,000 euro in wages. I think they are greedy. Bus drivers in the sky basically.

I don't think a pilot and a bus driver is comparable in terms of training skillset and capabilities required, that's just my opinion. But yeah it's hard to sympathize if they are getting the salary you stated

Peter, have you read,The ragged trousered philanthropists.

I've read it, a fantastic book.

2:28 living in Manchester U.K. 23 years myself and having family in Ireland, I have used both coach and sail and SailRail via Holyhead since 2010 to come home to Ireland on visits - going forward, I suspect that this will be further restricted or even banned outright, as most trains in Wales and most ferries are diesel powered, which are far dirtier than aviation fuel and I don’t fly home because of the hassle with airport security post 9/11 and flying - already, there have been train strikes which have meant that I was stranded in Holyhead for 2 days on my last visit home to Ireland from Manchester in October 2022

And every one has the right to strike

I worked as an engineer with aer lingus pre-2009. I left in 2009 and went to australia. An ex colleague then hit me up to come back in 2010, but on 20% less salary lol.

24% … increase Great if you could get it ??!!

Are they flying in the careless passport losers? 🤔

They want 25% more, nice. Mid-career captains in Aer Lingus earn €177,365 a year in total, against a reported €163,450 in Ryanair. That €14,000 gap can widen to more than €75,000 for captains who reach year 20 with Aer Lingus, when they can earn €239,000. Aer Lingus co-pilots could earn up to €121,519 against a reported €82,474 in Ryanair, according to some estimates.

P - look up Leithvo the Australian economist . You'll so agree with him . Hession

Yes pual correct

people dont get it, the media are directing your anger at the pilots. if the pilots dont get the raise then the rich CEOs, directors and shareholders will. its amazing how the media can manipulate peoples thinking.
