European Scabs
I know this probably belongs in the Foreign forum, but not too many people head that way.
The pilots of Aer Lingus (Irish ALPA) have been performing industrial action for, I believe, the last few weeks, forcing the airline to cancel a number of flights. To help cover the lost flying:
It seems they are also adding flights to be flown by RyanAir:

So I'll admit I'm too young to be familiar with any of the scabs and actions that occured in the US because it was, frankly, a long time ago. But flying struck work makes one a scab, yes? How do European carrier unions translate that to their own efforts?

Aer Lingus has...hired aircraft and [more importantly] crews from Spanish-based Privilege Style Airlines to fly Dublin-Chicago and Danish Air Transport to cover European routes popular with Irish sun seekers, including Malaga and the Greek islands.
The company’s note does not say how many flights are involved, but it is understood that Ryanair is providing two planes and crew to its competitor that will fly 12 services.

I think that’s just their normal callsign on their Manchester flights.

Green Flight is Aer Lingus UK's callsign. They are based out of MAN on a British certificate.
