your reply to dirk85 is not fair, as young and unexperienced he might be, he made a fair point and seems to me that you are trying to cut him off the discussion because you haven't got a decent reply.
You mentioned BA case on Openskies... let me explain why the british union (BALPA) dropped the case. It was illegal by EU law!!
If I understand correctly LH wants to create an italian company (Lufthansa Italia) which is fully owned by the german LH but registered in Italy, with an italian AOC, and there is not a single route that LH Italia is going to take over from LH mainline.
So this to me is creating a new market....not stealing jobs!!!
If LH Italia is actually recruiting to LH standards and the contract would be the same to LH mainline, where is the eradication of working conditions?
Is there any job redundancies coming up for LH pilots?
Is the company trying to cut your salary and degrade your working conditions?
If yes, then you should fight hard to get those jobs in LH Italia, otherwise if it is just a mere opportunity to employ young cadets and promote a few LH co-pilots, I think you guys are quite wrong.
