Please could someone bring me up to speed with Swiss.
What happened to the Swissair pilots?
Have the terms and conditions changed?

Studi a.k.a. CH,
shouldn't you be posting your usual newspaperquotings in the wannabe's section?

Such a big answer for a such small question? Seems like I hit a soft sport there... However, this topic isn't about you and me, but was started by someone who had a serious question, therefore I'll refrain from discussing your personality issues any further.
Maybe I should still write something for clarification and your peace of mind: I was just hinting (admittedly not in an all too friendly manner) at the fact that the previous poster asked for a little inside information, while the facts you posted are, while they are correct, not from the inside but readily available for anyone interested (I give you credit for the nice english translation, though :)) and at the circumstance that I couldn't see a question about your personal career plans in the previous ppruners' posts.
BTW, I don't work for said company anymore (and was even lucky enough to find a new airline to work for) and I completely agree with your assessment of the future of this airline.
With this argument hopefully settled, I sincerely wish you all the best for your BU.
PS: Why the hell are you getting up this early during the Semesterferien?

Most of Studies writing iscorrect, but the cut was 35 % overall!!!
That means a salary cut of about 15 - 28 % (depending of years in Service.
We get less travelexpenses (about minus 20%)
Pension age 57, but before we looked at about 80% from the very last Salary, now it is about 50% from the last Salary, which is about 30% less than before!!!!!
If the dissmissed ex-Swissair Pilots can come back (whenever this wil happen!?, they start at the very bottom of seniority!!
From the ex-Crossair side : Fo's are still getting less than the Ca's (in most cases). But than again we still have a job.
Good company to work for but the pay-scales are wrong (not logical).

Hi +TS,
I fully agree with you.

It is good to see that you are still out there arguing your corner with eloquence and in English as always.
