Aer Lingus planes sit on the tarmac at Dublin Aiport as cabin crews locked in a pay dispute with Aer Lingus picket outside the airport as their one-day strike forced the airline to cancel the day's 200 flights. *More than 20, 000 passengers were offered alternative travel arrangements or refunds by the airline, which is set to lose around IR 2 million as a result of the strike. * 10/10/2001: Staff at Ireland's troubled Aer Lingus national airline were hearing details of a survival scheme costing 2, 500 jobs as a cabinet minister spelled out government determination to rescue the company. The cuts were agreed at a crisis boardroom meeting after the blueprint to save Aer Lingus had been outlined to Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and his cabinet colleagues.
