Lufthansa, piloti in sciopero per quattro giorni - Le foto »

Aeroporto Tegel di Berlino

Pilots went on strike after midnight 22 February at Lufthansa, knocking out 3,200 flights according to the company‘s skeleton timetable. The four-day work stoppage will be the biggest stoppage labour disruption in the German airline‘s history. More than 4,000 of Lufthansa‘s 4,500 pilots are members of the Cockpit Association, which in May demanded pay hikes of 6.4 per cent, a no-layoffs promise and commitments from the airline not to outsource operations to lower-pay subsidiaries.
