Be careful what you ask for Charly. You may get it. You admit you think the threat will be enough. Your comments already demonstrate a lack of resolve. Sure a strike costs money but it's a one off. To give a 30% rise is a huge increase in the overhead year after year. They'll call your bluff at least to start with and unless all of your colleagues are more resolute than you the strike will go off half cock. People will call in sick, some will operate and some will be rostered off. It's easy to strike on leave or days off! Next thing is the cracks will start and then they've got you. You'd better be 100% sure you're prepared to go all the way.If you are then good luck to you. The rest of Europe's pilots are raring for you to go. You'll boost their company's profits whatever the outcome and if you succeed you'll put upward pressure on their salaries. It's a win/win situation for them. I hope you at LH don't pay the price.
