Ryanair pilots based in Ireland have voted to accept a collective agreement negotiated with the airline. The unanimous decision sees the end of a dispute which led to thousands of customer having their summer travel plans disrupted by strike action by pilots under Forsa and the Irish Airline Pilots Association (IALPA). A spokesperson for IALPA Captain Joe May said that the pilots respect Ryanair's operational model, they no longer accept the company's "highly problematic" employment model. "Afer decades of declining terms and conditions, pilots in Ryanair have now firmly found a unified voice. "We would also like to thank Ryanair for their participation in the mediation process, Fórsa Officials and ICTU Officials, in particular, Ms Patricia King and Mr Liam Berney for leading the talks on behalf of Ryanair pilots.”
