Aer Lingus announces cabin crew cost reduction measures
10-Mar-2010 Aer Lingus announces that it has now disclosed to Cabin Crew representatives measures to achieve the cost savings originally contemplated under the cost reduction programme announced in October 2009.
The Cabin Crew representatives were informed of the following applicable measures:
1. Targeted compulsory redundancies at statutory minimum levels, including the de-layering of the Cabin Crew organisation
2. New working conditions to achieve increased productivity
3. Transition to new pay scale including reduced salaries
4. Reduction in variable pay
5. Implementation of new Aer Lingus principles of employment
Assuming the full implementation of all of the above measures, it is expected there will be approximately 230 less Cabin Crew in the organisation and all remaining Cabin Crew employees will be on new contracts of employment.
