Airport - In the Corona crisis, Lufthansa loses one million euros every two hours.

A fight has now broken out between the top management and the pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) to agree on a contribution to the crisis.

Marcel Gröls, chairman of the VC collective bargaining policy, explains that the pilots are open to this.

However, he is annoyed by a threat from major shareholder Heinz-Hermann Thiel that the Kranich-Linie will "announce terminations on a large scale if there is no substantial rapprochement between the collective bargaining partners in the short term".

According to Gröls, VC insists that said association “strengthens the company's liquidity and thus secures the survival of Lufthansa and the existence of jobs”.

Rather, it is the top management who obviously have little interest in a speedy deal.

VC has shown several ways since the end of September.

And we also know that savings will be necessary in 2021 and 2022.

However, the employers refuse to offer socially acceptable downsizing through volunteer programs.

Gröls is convinced that “this crisis will come to an end at some point, which is why a permanent reduction in tariff conditions is neither necessary nor acceptable at the moment”.

Dismissals by cockpit employees without a reliable forecast would contradict a social partnership to deal with a crisis.

Attempts to make a profit from the crisis should not be made at the expense of employees.

According to VC, around 1,800 pilots are affected at the Moos Airport site alone.
