In response to the breaking news earlier today, the British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA) has called for reassurances from Ryanair that all Glasgow based pilots will receive preferential access to relocate when their base closes later this year.

BALPA National Officer, Terry Brandon said:

“This is sad news for the pilot community based at Glasgow and we will do all that we can to support our members.  We have started the process of consultation with Ryanair to ensure that our members jobs are protected.”
