As a Uk EZY pilot, I agree that the German contract must be to the local standard. The benchmark should be somewhere between Air Berlin and Lufty. There is a danger that UK pilots will think of the exchange rate and play into the managements plan of divide and conquer!! Lets support our German based pilots or we will all pay the price in the long term.
I do know the Management are still not engaging with BALPA and playing games so do not fall for the charm offensive, words mean very little if they are not backed up with actions and the company has continually fallen short in the latter!
