This afternoon.
Swords, County Dublin
Pilots protesting at CityJet offices as the airline has recommenced flights with Irish registered aircraft, but Dublin pilots remain grounded by temporary lay-offs.
Cityjet’s Dublin based pilots remain temporarily laid off as a result of the crisis gripping the aviation industry around the world and the airline plans to close its Dublin base.
But according to the Irish Airline Pilots Association, which is part of the union Fórsa, the decision to continue flying Irish registered aircraft using pilots based elsewhere is effectively an “offshoring” of Dublin based pilots work.
