Mr. Neil McGowan:

The number one request from SIPTU at today’s committee is to see the wage subsidy scheme amended to provide a proper income to people while we weather this crisis. The other debate we have had on restoring confidence to the industry in terms of having a testing regime that is free, quick, efficient and accessible and would restore confidence in the industry, that would get back people back flying again, but our real concern is that in the time that it will take us to get there, people will end up defaulting on mortgages and moving into homeless situations. It is a desperate time for aviation workers and has been a desperate nine months. That is why our number one ask today is that the wage subsidy scheme would be amended to provide a proper income to people so that they can meet their financial obligations.
