UPDATE 1-Potential Ryanair job cuts remain at 3,000 - spokeswoman

(Adds clarification from spokeswoman)

DUBLIN, July 1 (Reuters) - Ryanair is still planning
around 3,000 additional job losses if it cannot agree pay cuts
with pilots and cabin crew, a spokeswoman for the airline said
on Wednesday.

Group Chief Executive Michael O'Leary earlier told the BBC
that the airline had announced about 3,500 job losses, but the
spokeswoman later clarified that Ryanair's plans to cut 3,000
pilot and cabin crew jobs had not changed.

Europe's biggest budget airline has cut more than 250 staff
from its offices around Europe and the additional potential cuts
would be split between pilots and cabin crew, with whom the
company is currently in pay negotiations.

"We're looking for 20% from the best paid captains, 5% from
the lowest paid flight attendants and we think if we can
negotiate those pay cuts by agreement, we can avoid most but not
all job losses." O'Leary told BBC TV.
