Eam, that's the same info I have. The only thing is that for the DLR you mentioned, the LHI guys have had just the last day a different session, the role play instead of the group discussion. That's the info I got from a friend of mine inside the company.
I think that due to the investiments for the type rating, and also to not give the impression that they don't care about their pilots being fired, they are going to do something about it, like, lets say, give the chance to study german for a couple of years and in the meanwhile work for GWI, or one of the another companies of the group (not DLH, of course).
It really depends on the agreement between VC and the board.
What do you think?

The thing is very simple. Apart from the fact that you have to speak german, you have to do the LH selection again.
Even if your DLR is all the same, it only counts when you do it for LH KTV, not for LHI, not for CLH or even AUA.
So you might get a chance for LH, but you still have to meet the requirements.
There have never been any exception on this, as far as I know.
Maybe you could join GWI but not on the KTV.

So, you MUST speak German to work for Lufthansa... I've met some LH pilots and they speak much better English than I do - and I live in the UK! I realise it is the way it is and that it won't change, but it is still a seriously lame, protectionist rule.

And alla of a sudden I'm glad I didn't get a chance to do the SIM-screening. What was the bond arrangement for those who actually started? Any risk that these guys will be liable to a LHI or any financial institute?

End of an era
Well, the union might have won this, in the usual german way: behind the scenes.
I hope somebody will remember, that a lot of enthusiastic candidates have been excluded from LHI due to age discrimination. Officially there is EU- legislation, in reality the companies do what they want.

Where pilots (or employees generally speaking) are united and union(s) are strong the companies can do what is written in the contracts and what the laws allow them to do only. No more, no less.

Henry this is only half of the truth, but its another story.
I dont think all this is due to the LH union, they protected their market which was correct, but LHI still employed pilots on very low salaries, so I guess it just didnt work the way they wanted and the new LH boss is going a different way.
