Lufhansa Cityline Questions
Merry Christmas!
Couple of quick questions regarding the latest at Lufthansa Cityline:
1. Given that LH mainline crews fly half of the E190s, what is the hiring outlook for Cityline in 2013? Are all newhires from the LH flight schools or do they also offer direct entry slots?
2. With the recent regorganization/strategy announcement at Lufthansa, any idea what is the role of Cityline going forward? Sounds like Eurowings will be integrated into Germanwings but not much information provided about Cityline and how it will be used (still continue to use CRJ-700/900s and E190s?). Will it remain Cityline or be integrated?
3. Is there typically a flow-through agreement with Cityline pilots eventually moving to Lufthansa?
4. Lastly, what are the likely domiciles for newhires?
PMs also welcome. Thank you for any updated information.
Happy holidays!

Lufthansa Cityline will phase out some of the CRJ 700s. Also there will be no one moving to LH mainline in the next year as they do have too many pilots. So the hiring outlook should not be good.
If you fullfill the reqirements you can move to mainline, mostly via Lufthansa Cargo. But you will start at the bottom of the seniority list.
New staff will only be based in FRA and MUC.
The integration into LH mainline is an issue since the start, but seams unlikely at the moment.
But everything can change fast and the new situation will be different.

LW20,
Cheers for the update. We have all heard about what will happen with Germanwings and Eurowings but Cityline has been less clear where it will fit in the "changing" LH puzzle. Interesting that Cityline pilots can enter through LH Cargo - not a bad tradeoff.
Always thought Cityline would be a great place to work based on what I have heard. I guess the E190s provide jobs for many LH mainliners as well. Just heard that Air Dolomiti will be swapping ATRs for more E190s as well.
