Anyone got the European pay scales? Is this €68k way off-base for the average in Europe?
It is on the high end, but not unusual for a legacy carrier. But to be precise, i said in my initial post that this is the figure that Lufthansa management uses in the ongoing labor dispute. It does include contributions for pension fund, transitional pay and probably average overtime. The guaranteed minimum pay is around 59k.
Why legacy? Germanwings pilots (flying the A320 series) are on the payscale and seniority list of Lufthansa.
