An interesting article from this past week in Ireland's Tribune. It says Aer Lingus is seriously studying the possibility of using US-based cabin crew to operate transatlantic routes, in place of the current Irish crews.
Below is a summary from the article, details are in the link.
The airline is locked in negotiations with unions over a major cost-cutting programme and the controversial idea of using US cabin crews could create tensions between the sides. However the airline is hoping some of its transatlantic staff may accept severance terms, allowing the US crew gradually to start staffing some flights to New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and Orlando.
