The High Court has continued for two weeks an interim order restraining two members of the Irish Airline Pilots' Association and its British counterpart, BALPA, from deleting or destroying code names used on the Ryanair European Pilots' Association (REPA) website.

Ryanair is seeking an order directing the defendants to disclose those referred to by code names on the REPA website.

Ryanair says it is converting its Dublin fleet to 737-800 aircraft and is seeking pilots. However, it had become aware in December 2004 of allegations of bullying and harassment of Ryanair pilots for the purpose of dissuading them from accepting positions in Dublin flying the new aircraft.
