Lufthansa pilot's defending the profession
I would say that the Lufthansa pilot's union was pretty smart. By threatening the strike they accomplished two things: 1. Forced Lufthansa to cancel many flights with a financial penalty,and 2. Got the traveling public's attention.
I wish the union well. They are defending the industry and the scope issues for the all pilots. If we lose this battle, a pilot will just be another bus driver paid accordingly.
