Leo77,
you´re right and not when stating that Austrian and Tyrolean are
merging - Austrian is consisting of Austrian, LaudaAir and
Tyrolean Airways (Austrian Arrows nowadays) - at the moment
Austrian and Lauda are putting their flight-operations together -
on ground and the flying staff - e.g. seniorities
Austrian Arrows will stay independent within the Austrian Group -
i think the Austrian management will keep that in this way - check
the salary-scales and then you will know why!! - maybe Austrian
Airlines will start hiring soon - unconfirmed, but better chances at
Tyrolean at all for the youngsters
Greetings
