The two "annual salaries" you´re refering to are factored in.

"Urlaubsgeld" and "Weihnachtsgeld" were 1 monthly salary paid in 50% lumps in May an November- so we had "13" salaries.

Basis for the new numbers are the annual salary (consisting of 13 before):
We now get 13/12 of the (previous) annual salary each month multiplied by the raises, which has some advantages for us, when we look at the taxman, sickpay etc.
Overtime is a fraction of the monthly salary so that is raised somewhat also.

The two EXTRA monthly salaries we get this year are "profit-sharing" - the years before we got ca. 0.3 (!!) monthly salaries for that.

"Foreigners"?:
If you have the right to work in Germany, a German ATPL, can speak German, have a max age etc. and pass the LH-DLR-test, they´ve been offering (albeit junior-FO)-contracts to anyone.
LH-Cargo has a para in the ta about possible "short-term" basings outside of FRA, notably CGN (Cologne) or possibly (!!) two other of the cargo-hubs. This will still have to be specified between the company and the pilots´reps, though.
Don´t expect them to recruit other "foreigners", than the ones being able to join DLH now.

The fineprint (resttime regs, augmentation regs - still rather laughable for major US-operators) is rather company specific and hard to follow for "outsiders", but I´ve mentioned most of it already.

Let´s see how the vote goes!
