Aer Lingus suspends fifth pilot

Aer Lingus has supended five pilots

A fifth airline pilot has been suspended by the Republic's national airline, Aer Lingus.

Four were suspended on Tuesday after refusing to train new recruits in a dispute over pay and conditions for the airline's planned new hub at Belfast.

The airline has written to all its pilots asking them to fully co-operate in setting up the new operation or face suspension.

They have until Monday afternoon to decide.
