So maybe the LX fleet would need some dowsizing too before joining SWISS? If LX kicks out about 400 pilots (not what I hope for) the seniority list will be evenly distributed... Would you prefer this?. .. .Let's face the facts LX pilots get a higher salary, more holidays, a better pension found, and a real carreer outlook, while SR pilots only loose. The seniority will be very fair for LX, as experience on a Saab 340 will have the same value as on a MD11. Not bad a deal. . .. .It seems to me the LX pilots are the big winners. Of course CCP does not see this quite the same way. Perhaps Mr. Häderli should start to think with his brain instead of his dick and he certainly should start representing his own members instead of only working for his megalomania to grow... CCP members would be well advised to replace some board members real soon.
