Ryanair passengers set to face even more travel chaos as UK pilots confirm strike - and Spain may follow suit
RYANAIR'S pilots in Ireland have now confirmed a strike - just days after the airline's UK pilots confirmed a walk out.
Forsa said that industrial action was backed by 94 per cent of the 180 directly employed pilots eligible to vote and the union will write to management early next week to outline its plans if the pay demands are not met.Ryanair said: "Ryanair is disappointed that the pilots union FORSA is threatening to disrupt customers’ travel plans during August when its ballot has the support of less than 25% of Ryanair’s Irish pilots.
"FORSA should now continue mediation with Ryanair instead of threatening ill-judged and ill-timed industrial action with the sole intention of creating uncertainty for customers travelling during the late August period."Strikes will be held from 00.01am on August 22 until 11.59pm on August 23 and from 00.01am on September 2 until 11.59pm on September 4.
Mark Anderson Willis also wrote: "@Ryanair do you think you could not be such utter C£@?s an strike over the exact time we have 70 people coming to a Wedding in France.
