Wonderbusdriver...

I was in FRA two days ago and witnessed the other LH employees being unsympathetic to your cause. Very disturbing indeed and no doubt a management ploy.

I was walking through the terminal and a LH Service representative came over to help me. I started to engage him into the strike issue. He was professional but didn't understand all that you are trying to achieve.

I asked him about this very scenario....what if he was making 10,000 DM per month for his job. That is a lot of money. He agreed. Then I said, "Now, assume that someone at British, Air France, SAS, Iberia who did the EXACT SAME JOB as you, made 15,000 per month. Wouldn't you want to increase your pay to those of your peers who do the same work for more money than you???

I don't know if he saw the light on this one, but I did try.

My hat is off to you LH pilots and as an American Airlines Pilot, I was very proud to see all you "Lufties" as I hear you are called, walking the picket line for your cause.

Stay the course!!
