Scoreboard, not sure what you mean. Canīt be for the mainline pilots.

Just signed a new 5 yr contract after quite some fighting.

There hadnīt been a payrise since 2012.
You get a lump-sum for 2102-2015 (1,8XSep16 monthly pay - if you were worked fulltime in the time period then).
Payraise 2016 2%, 2017 2,4% and something in that range in 18, 19 and 20.
Yearly profitshare up to 2 months max (as before) but the calculation has changed a bit for the better (hopefully).
Pension scheme has changed dramatically from DB to DC - much less guaranteed for whatīs put starting 2017 - but you can put in some yourself and get a tax-break for that for now. Pension will be taxxed fully though later.

Overtime starts at 74,5 hrs instead of 71hrs before - thus overtime pay is reduced and starts later. Fits in with doing 80+ hrs every month...

Overall itīs more like +-0% or even a cut at the current working-level.

And theyīre doing their best to grow Eurowings at rates around 30-40% below mainline keeping the "pilot bodies" strictly apart.

Finally some intake and training of new FOs and upgrades to CP so that tha high production rate can be sustained somehow.

Fortunately oil price is still rather low and business - at mainline - looks very robust currently - so much so that on the SH and LH Airbus fleets theyīve offered to buy back vacation days. (at a paltry 100% albeit)

What I read on your thread, reads pretty much like what quite a few folks have been complaining about here - but our-ex-pilot-CEO understands the pros and cons of the seniority system very well , so in effect (almost) no-one is leaving, as the numbers do not add up outside.
