Ryanair seals deal with Irish pilots but signals Max-driven cuts

Ryanair has reached a 4-year labour agreement with the union representing its Ireland-based pilots, but has renewed its warning of potential job losses and base closures as a result of the latest Boeing 737 Max delay. In a stock-exchange notice, the carrier said it had “accepted before Christmas” the recommendations put forward by independent mediator Kieran Mulvey for a collective labour agreement with trade union Forsa. The deal, which runs through to 2024, covers all of Ryanair’s “directly employed” pilots in Ireland. ”Ryanair will now implement the terms of this CLA, which will deliver a new pay structure along with a fixed 5/4 roster for the next 4 years,” states the airline. The agreement follows a turbulent period of strike threats and industrial unrest at the airline. <br/>
