Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association
Mr. Alan Brereton:
I believe the Chairman actually gave the reason at the start. We are asking for a departure from the norm because the culture of Irish aviation is a departure from the norm we see in Europe and the rest of the world. If we had found a receptive audience or somebody who was willing to listen and act on what we believe is a serious issue in Irish aviation in the last ten years or in the 20 years Mr. Cullen has been working on this issue for, we would not be here asking for this to be included in primary legislation. Our faith has been eroded. That is the challenge we face. We do not believe that a culture exists that wants to see this change. That is why we need it to be included in primary legislation.
