DUBLIN, Oct (Shenzhen: 000069.SZ - news) 12 (Reuters) - Ryanair resisted moves by pilots to unionise on Thursday, after one demanded the Irish airline adopts a new approach to industrial relations.

After the airline said it would not respond to anonymous letters, Comer became the first Ryanair captain to speak publicly in a letter to Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary.

London banks, brokers up staffing as polls tighten before UK vote
Bankers, brokers and money managers are pulling in extra staff to handle any big market moves on Thursday night as tightening polls make the outcome of the British election more unpredictable.

British engineer Cobham (Other OTC: CBHMF - news) said it would have to take drastic action to turn around its fortunes after cutting its profit forecast for the fifth time in 15 months and warning 2017 could get even worse, wiping as much as a fifth off its market value.
