SWISS has joined with artist Gerry Hofstetter to bring a unique perspective to a variety of European cities. Using monuments around Europe as his ‘canvas’ and Eyes as his subject, he is attempting to convey a message of greater attentiveness to the things that surround us.
With this effort, SWISS is asking for your participation in the project and in return will award 6 lucky winners each with a pair of Business Class tickets for travel to Switzerland. The contest is open to residents of the US and Europe (except for those residing in France, Italy or the Republic of San Marino). To enter, all you have to do is take a ‘selfie’ of your eyes and upload it via the Contest Entry Page. Your ‘Eyefie’ will be used in a ‘Grand Finale’ exhibit in Zurich.
All submissions will be gathered and a random drawing will take place in April to award the 6 vouchers. The deadline for entering is Midnight, March 31, 2015 (Central Euro Time).
The terms and conditions are vague (as usual), but basically state that each winner will receive a voucher good for Biz class tickets from a USA gateway. The expiration of the vouchers is not clear, but don’t let that stop you from entering! The details can be sorted out later!

Lufthansa unfortunately is battling labor issues on two fronts at the same time.
The more ‘popular’ of the two is the ongoing rift with the union that represents the majority of Lufthansa pilots, known as Vereingung Cockpit (VC). However another battle is being fought with UFO, who represents upwards of 18,000 cabin crew employees who are not pilots.
The latter battle, with UFO, appears to be making progress as both sides have agreed to meet for negotiations some time in mid-February following a vote of the membership that is taking place this month. The crux of the disagreements between Lufthansa and UFO revolves around 2 primary issues: Cabin crew pensions and how union-member employees will be treated as Lufthansa expands its Low Cost Carrier operations when it introduces WINGS this year.
It looks as though for now any strike threat from UFO is greatly diminished but the threat remains for VC to ask pilots to go on strike on relatively short notice.
More details as they become available……
