December 2021 - Greetings All - From RALSA_UK

It has certainly been strange times over these last two years. A few weeks back we thought we might get back on track with an AGM in September/October, however things have slightly changed again. The best we can hope for is to plan for something in the spring, but it will all depend on how Covid plays itself out.

Our Defined Benefit IASS Pensions are being paid on time and there is no further update on the Aer Lingus First Supplementary Fund.

Staff travel has been closed for personal contact visits since the beginning of the pandemic with reduced staffing levels working remotely.

UK full time staff can avail of staff tickets direct on-line. In the meantime, UK retiree staff tickets can be had via MY-ID travel, details of that are on Staff Travel webpage on this site

We urge everyone to sign up to the XEI site with Paddy Kilduff for on-going news on colleagues and events. There is no cost involved, just e-mail Paddy at paddykilduff@ymail.com to add your e-mail address and he will list you to receive his weekly newsletter for retired Aer Lingus staff.

May we wish everyone a very happy New Year. We will be in touch again in the coming weeks when we have further news and as I said at the opening, we might also get a chance to have an AGM where we can meet to catch up and socialise a little.

All the very best for now

Jim
