Ryanair holds ‘constructive’ talks with German pilots union
Ryanair began talks Friday with the union behind the first pilots strike in the carrier’s 32-year history, as it continues to meet labour representatives following its surprise move just before Christmas to recognise unions. Sources described the talks between Ryanair and officials of Germany’s Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) union in Frankfurt as “constructive” and said they will form the basis for real negotiations over the coming months. A spokesman for Ryanair and representatives from VC declined to comment. The carrier met the Irish Airline Pilots Association Wednesday and British Airline Pilots Association Thursday. However, the VC engagement is seen as the major step forward, after members of that union directly employed by Ryanair held a 4-hour walkout Dec 22nd. <br/>
