Lufthansa On Strike!


It seems to be that this week the cabin staff of Germany’s largest airline, Luftansa, went on strike.  This is a strike that looks like it will go on for weeks.  Currently it is projected that the airline is losing three to five million Euro per day on the strike.

It doesn’t look as though Lufthansa is interested in bending.  Unfortunately, the main party losing out are the customers.  They are being stranded and having to look for other airlines as most small – medium haul flights are being cancelled.  A third of the long haul flights were cancelled as well, including major U.S. flights arriving and departing from Los Angeles International, Houston’s George Bush International and Chicago O’Hare.

With the given state if the EU economy, maybe they should just be happy for a stable well paying job?! After all, I do not think they are being paid below the poverty line.
