Dear Italian Collegues,
I am sure Lufthansa Italia would find highly motivated, highly trained and very good pilots for the cockpits with LHI in Italy.
But please understand: We (most pilots of Lufthansa) are VERY concerned about the developments in our company and the style, with which the management is solving the tasks of the future not with us, but against us.
Growth is happening everywhere around Lufthansa (Aerologic, Air Dolomity, LH Regional and LH Italy) but not within our company. LH mainline is shrinking, and Condor (formerly a Lufthansa owned tourist carrier operated by LH pilots) is not part of our career scheme anymore.
And more, the company is putting a lot of pressure on us with taking our collegues at Cityline "hostage" and trying to force us to accept the operation of the new EMB with reduced sallary packages to save their jobs.
We are talking about nearly 2.000 highly payed jobs in the cockpits in Germany at stake.
So please respect the fact, that most LH-pilots will try their best, to save their jobs and future perspectives, and cannot support the idea of a new 100% LH Airline in LH colours not operating with their personell.
Best Regards
Charly
