Members of the Irish Airline Pilots' Association at Aer Lingus have voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action up to and including a strike.

Last week, IALPA members voted overwhelmingly to reject a Labour Court recommendation that pilots should receive pay increases totalling just over 9% as part of an interim settlement. The figure was well below the 23.8% that the pilots had been seeking.

How would a strike affect you? 

Andrea is joined by Angela Walsh, President of the Irish Travel Agents Association and CEO of FROSCH, Ciara Foley, Managing Director of Platinum Travel and listeners to discuss.
