This year everything is different. We don´t feel the need to justify our wages anymore. We just don´t care what Frau Schmidt and Herr Müller think about it.

And that helps!

The management is sending one press speaker after another in front of the cameras to discredit our demands, while our union stays pretty cool...

Everything went rather well - except for some management guys that were the contingency plan - and even those mostly two CPs flying on "important" routes.

No offer yet - This was just a practice run.

Expect more!

For Info:

Strike has been ended succesful. 110 flights were cancelled and hundreds more delayed.

Next negotiations: 2.Apr.

This was only the warming up, if the management doesn´t consider a reasonable agreement...

Charly...

I have always liked the European way of striking.....we here in the states call it "wildcat" strikes.

Organized labor here cannot do what you do...but the way its done in Europe is extremely effective and gets managements attention very quickly.

I wish you Gute gluck and let us know how things turn out!!

Good Luck to you all at Lufthansa. If we were as united as you seem to be I'm sure our problems would be resoved much more quickly.

I really hope you boys succeed. I applaud any industrial action if it reverses the trend towards ‘train drivers’ and pulls this profession up by its bootlaces.

They think it’s all over.....

Stanby how could JMC pilots cover the Condor pilots and would they do that. I am told they have salaries at half ours so they should not upset Vereinigung Cockpit which will support Balpas in improving JMC pilots salaries through Europilote.

I dont really think it would ever happen and even if it did i would hope no one would even think about it. And i would hope BALPA would support your union over here.

Best of luck to all involved

Cheers and good luck to all LH - Condor pilots!
I do hope this is the start of a European tendency. We at Air France, will be starting negociations in september. I hope our unions and management are following this duel closely...

The problem with our job is that we love it so much, some us would do it for free !!!. Let us not forget that it is a job, and a damn hard one on many levels !

Bon courage !!
