Lufthansa Pilots go on stri.ke, 30 % raise demanded

[Charly]

On Wednesday this week Lufthansa Pilots will go on a 3 hr Stri.ke, a 30 % increase in pilots sallaries is demanded.
After a couple of unsucsessfull negotiations between the managment of LH and the Pilots Association "Vereinigung Cockpit (VC)", this is seen as the only way to come to an acceptable collective agreement!

[Nite_Flite]

Is this fact or rumour....
If it is fact I wish them good luck, and hope the airline managers in Europe will start to fell the same heat as the americans..

[Charly]

Its 110% fact!!

Trust me, I know!

[middlepath]

it is high time all the mainland european pilots do something about pay raise. Its long over due. Pilot shortage may have something to do with pay. If paid like a bus driver then its difficult to attrac wannabes.

[standby1]

Is it only LH pilots, or are Condor etc getting involved? And seeing as jmc is part the whole eqaution what if jmc pilots were asked/directed to cover their work?

[fantum farter]

Standby1,

1...2...3 all together 'We'll keep the red flag flying here'etc etc

You are totally INCORRECT in saying that Lufthansa pilots are going on strike.

Ground and Cabin Crew Unions called for a 3 hour unofficial strike yesterday. Today they have settled for 3.5%.

The Pilot Union (VC) and Management talks have ended until April. No outcome, raises demanded are between 30-80%.

See financialtimes.com for more info

[wonderbusdriver]

Believe it, it is true.
(Sierra: FT just havenīt told you so yet, or they donīt know - itīs in the German media by now.)

The other contract talks had nothing to do with the pilots.
The s* on Friday by ground pers. etc. - represented by the new mega-union Ver.di - was official and legal as well.
They got their contract on Saturday.

On Wednesday March 28 from 0630 to 0900 LT it will be happening at all German Lufthansa stations.

All companies (DLH, CFG, LCAG, CIB) will be involved.
(I donīt think theyīll count on JMC to take over CFG, CIB flights - but who knows what managementīs plans are...)

This is just a so-called "warning-s*"(max. ca 2 hrs duration), made possible by German labor laws.

To pull off a really big one, union members will have to vote on it first - should the negotiations have officially been terminated without results before.

Sad that Lufthansa management couldn't avoid this. But - great news for the pilot community. I wish them all the best.

[Roobarb]

Good luck to our colleagues at Lufthansa, the ripples will spread far and wide. Hopefully this is the end of exploitation and the beginning of fair pay for all pilots.

[Three Percent]

Power to the people, good luck commrades!!

Which queue do I join to get my boiler suit?

[CaptSensible]

Sierra One, my lady works in a Lufty call centre, and they,ve been working like dogs all day to cope with the chaos resulrting from the Lufty pilots strike. They've been asked to put in overtime for the next three days.
So, no strike you say?
Think you're wrong matey.

Good luck to you Lufty crews! Stick it to them.

[Charly]

Thanks for the support, colleages!!

This is only the beginning of a european-wide pilots movement and a new (old) selfrespect!


They just donīt realize with whom they are dealing with here....

[heavydane]

Nice move Lufthansa!!!

By the look of things we will be next in line to show management we are dead serious!

The time has come.

[flt_lt_w_mitty]

Well, Sierra one, that's you told - hope you get your facts right in the future - it could be important. Trust you are severely chastened, Charly!

FLWM
Give Sierra one a break he is still is only line training on the web site

Good luck to the pilots union(VC) hope they pull it off Might even kick start BALPA into positive mode

[MFALK]

Good luck to Lufthansa pilots! Lead the way guys...

[ATC Watcher]

It started at 0430Z and expected to last until 0700Z but only for domestic flights so far.
Good luck to all of them. Outcome will depend on public (and media) reaction.
Not many strikes in Germany.
