It's hoped a path to a resolution can be found as unions and management at Aer Lingus meet with the Labour Court later. Nearly 400 flights have been cancelled by the airline, as IALPA engages in a work-to-rule in a pay row.
There were fears that industrial action could be escalated, however IALPA's parent union Forsa accepted the invite to this afternoon's meeting with the Labour Court. Aviation journalist Eoghan Corry says an eight hour stoppage, which took place on Saturday, was a test for the capabilities of Aer Lingus.
