In their latest antic, the union representing LH’s flight crews has called for a complete shut down of all flights for 68 hours between November 11 and November 13 (Wednesday thru Friday).
As a result of this lunacy, LH is seeking injunctive relief from German Courts and is asking that this potential walk out be ruled illegal.
This latest strike threat would basically shut down all of Lufthansa’s operations in Munich, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt.
My gut tells me that the courts will side with Lufthansa and ban the union from this extreme action. It is unfortunate that German laws give far more power to the union than they do to the corporations that employ their membership. The playing field is far from level.
I’ll provide updates once there is any clarity to the strike actions planned for during the next 3 days.

The cabin crew union has announced their plans for work stoppages tomorrow, November 10, and they are clearly targeting long haul flights in Frankfurt and Munich as well as everything in Dusseldorf.
Specifically, ALL long haul flights scheduled to operate between 04:30a and 11:00p in Frankfurt, and between 05:00 and 23:59 in Munich are subject to cancellation.
In addition, ALL LH flights to and from Dusseldorf between 04:30a and 11:00p are subject to cancellations.
Typically LH is able to get at least a few flights operated thanks to managers and other qualified staff who volunteer to help work on the flights.
LH has yet to publish a detailed timetable for tomorrow but you can find the latest updates on their Strike Update webpage.
