The Swiss strife started even before SR went bankrupt when SR began outsouring MRO to subrate third-parties instead of SR Technnics, crews knew that they would be next for cuts.
When LX management took over SR, this was the case of class war for they had envied the gilded pay whilst LX earned crisps.
The merging of crews after 2002 proved that tensions have not settled and worsened by bloody-minded LH CEOs who were hell-bent to take the SR out of SR!
A lot of SR crews jumped shipped and hopped onto U2.
So what LH is doing is making LX into a LCC by forcing their non-regional crews to thrown in the towel and allowing regional crews to man the brand-spanking new B77W exclusively even though they will be earning up to 50% less than their A330/A340 counterparts.
