The planned strike on December 20th was set to throw Christmas travel plans into chaos.
In a surprise move, Ryanair management has formally recognised IMPACT Trade Union as industry representatives.
Resulting in the planned strike, set to be implemented in two-days time, being called off.
The strike postponement will allow a lot of people who feared their Christmas Plans would be thrown into chaos, to return home for Christmas.
Dublin Ryanair pilot strike cancelled by Impact Union for Wednesday. Talks start Tuesday evening. Let's get folks back home quietly for Xmas. Good to talk.

The recognition of IMPACT Trade Union as representatives of the pilots is a huge coup. As previously Ryanair had stated they wouldn't deal with Unions.
Talks to resolve the dispute are set to recommence tomorrow evening.
