Lufthansa strike begins

Passengers flying with Lufthansa fell victim to the latest airline strikes today as around 800 flights per day look set to be cancelled over a four-day period.
Eleventh hour management attempts to derail the strike action by pilots came to nothing on Sunday night. Now passengers are having flights rebooked on rival airlines and Lufthansa’s subsidiaries.
Pilots are concerned that the airline could be attempting to cut staff jobs and move jobs to subsidiaries like Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa Italia, which offer less impressive packages.
A spokesperson for Lufthansa said: "We are still prepared to resume negotiations, without preconditions, but then (pilots union) Vereinigung Cockpit needs to be prepared as well to hold talks with no conditions and drop its catalogue of demands, which cannot be fulfilled and is legally inadmissible.”
