What streetcardriver says isn't carved in stone, what you then said is actually even offensive to some.
LH is one of the last legacy carriers in Europe that still has some kind of decent corporate culture and that treats its pilots fairly but don't forget the second class citizens of Cityline for example.
LHI ,after failing hundreds of pilots last year, has now re started hiring pilots with different requirements leaving the italian language out for instance.
Probably lots of non-italian pilots will apply and the perspective of having lots of underpaid foreign pilots (because the LHI pay is substandard) living in a foreign country and having to deal with an extremely inefficient environment like the cassa marittima,the fondo volo,the lack of decent international schools,the lack of opportunities for non italian speaking wives and so on (seen it before in expats living near MXP) is a situation that clashes with your view of:
The biggest part, if not the 100%, of the LH pilots would refuse a 30% increase in salary and a faster cpt upgrade, for example in Emirates, because it's different to have a fast and rich career somewhere in a X company, and to be part of a huge group to which you FEEL to belong.
The reason is very simple: LH has managed to create what you say in Germany amongst german pilots who are based and living at home.
Re-creating a "german sense of belonging" in a bunch of foreign pilots living in a foreign country will be a tough job, especially if the T&C's are already on the low side before even starting.
