Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"It’s expected that up to 40,000 passengers will hit by flight cancellations. The airline is to get in touch and offer a refund or alternative booking.

The pilots are to begin an indefinite work-to-rule from next Wednesday after balloting for industrial action, which means they will not engage in overtime or out-of-hours duties."

“The ‘work-to-rule’ announced is an insidious form of industrial action which will have a cumulative and negative impact on Aer Lingus customers”

if you have to cancel 20% of your flights because your pilots start working according to their contract, after you do not give them a pay raise that covers inflation and drag the talks out 22 months, then you are a scumbag of an employer and deserve to see how your precious company that is built on slavery goes down the drain.

Instead, they'll pay their bottom tier employees to get berated by people with legitimate gripes, settle for a class action, and keep on sailing the skies.
