Due to considerable concessions mainly by the pilot group
A bit arrogant, no?
EVERYONE made considerable concessions. We (Revenue Management Cargo at the time) did 30 hours a month without pay for over 2 years...
The key issue here isn't T&C - it appears to be VC's demands for consultation on strategic corporate issues.
Franz won't budge on that one and VC has very little (if any) backing within the workforce and the travelling/general public.
People need to get serious - LH can match Air Berlin/Easyjet/Ryanair's prices with no problem. It;s just that with the current cost base, you don't make any money.
