All recently arrived loading section employees are 30 hour contracts now as they couldn’t attract staff with 20 hour contracts.

Yeah not sure how much truth is in it however if its true its hard for them to justify such a cost from a commercial prospective. They say over 12 million per year. They want a "one team" approach whatever that means and if it doesn't happen they will likely outsource going by the article.https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/aer-lingus-withdraws-threat-over-union-representatives-37441672.html

I understand and appreciate that time at home with your family can be very important especially for long haul pilots away from home for so many nights a month, but for that many pilots to turn their nose up at €5,000 just for coming in on a day off says an awful lot. Recalling back to the Ryanair crew issues last year, I think they’re offer was along the lines of €20,000 for working 5 days off, just as a comparison.
