Aer Lingus has written to pilots seeking a quick end to a pay dispute to ensure delivery of new aircraft.

Jump to postI suppose other options are that the early transatlantic arrivals could arrive on remote stands while the first wave of SH flights go out.

It's quite possible they won't change gates at all, and just change checkin to T2.

Of course they could always move them to 335 :) Can't understand what the logic ...
