Not quite as much, well, no idea about the cabin crew to be honest. Pilots did give something, but not nearly as much as 50%, time limited until the end of september. After the bailout they added another three months (including a clause that makes it impossible for the company to fire anybody until three months afterwards with notice periods as long as 12 months). However, of course the german government helps quite a bit as Kurzarbeit (available to anybody with a german contract, so not only Lufthansa but also Ryanair and Easyjet) allows up to 20 months of reduced work and wage subsidy up to 87% (from month 7 on and with kids) of up to €6.900 gross, but as far as i know Lufty tops that up to full pay.

Anyway, still surprised that the british government only offered a normal business rate loan capped at 600m (iirc).
