Tribunal hears of second wording error in Aer Lingus pilot disciplinary report

The tribunal heard of a second wording error in Aer Lingus pilot disciplinary report, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of the airline's whistleblower processes. At the Workplace Relations Commission, Conor Barrett testified about a passage that seemed to side with pilot Declan McCabe, who was later demoted after an incident at Dublin Airport in June 2023. Barrett explained the phrase should read differently due to a mistaken word, stating that another instance used the term 'belies' in error. The hearing is part of McCabe's protected disclosures case under the 2014 Act and related safety requirements, with the broader dispute over whether his reporting duties were properly enforced.
