Irish pilots at Ryanair have agreed to accept a new four year deal with the airline, which includes a 20pc pay reduction. In addition, pilots have agreed to flexible working patterns and changes to annual leave to minimise job losses, according to the airline. It comes after BALPA and Ryanair UK pilots accepted a similar deal earlier this week to save jobs, also with 20pc pay cuts and productivity improvements. The airline said it has signed agreements with the Fórsa union for its Irish based cabin crew and the UNITE union for its UK cabin crew on up to 10pc pay reductions, fully restored over four years, as well as “productivity improvements” to save jobs. These cabin crew agreements are currently out to ballot.
