Sorry guys,
but i think that it is unfair what you are saying about lh pilots.
The jobs at lhi are "our" jobs. We have no upgrades, no progression, lh cargo has stored md11s.
The embraer, a replacement for the 737 fleet goes to air dolomiti, augsburg airways and cityline and there will be no longer upgrades with condor.....
The managment took the 5 lhi A319 from germanwings(full lh subsidary) and is cuttting our jobs. And you think it is unfair if lh tris and tres fail pilots during their application process?
In the usa, everybody that would apply for such a job would be called a scab!
And by the way...the reason why the older hlf pilots were not able to join lh has nothing to do with pilot skills or interpersonal reasons....
The reason is the company pension system of lh. You get a "übergangsversorgung" when you are 60 years old. If you are to old when you join you cannot accumalte enough credits and you would take away credits of your fellow pilots.
