EAM actually we are trying to do exactly what you want!
So you are trying to get CityLine into the KTV, didnt know that, go ahead.
If it says Lufthansa on your A/C it should say Lufthansa on your paycheck.
About the salaries, well a friend of mine is F/O on the 744 and about 8 years in the company, he makes about 4-4300€ a month. In the company that I work for a F/O makes about 4500€ on the A320, after 8 years he is Cpt or makes well over 5000€. A Cpt makes min 7000€ up to well over 9000€ net, so thats well over what LH pays and I am not working for the flagg carrier, our contract is average in Italy and even if yours is just a bit below, doenst matter, your undergoing our payscheme, even if its only a bit.
As you say, just to pay a bit less, just to get a job. We have to stop this right in the beginning.
As for the rest you are right, if there is no growth within LH, of course you cant accept to have the growth outside. But also buying SN, AUA, BMI and maybe SAS doesnt help you with this.
