The union representing the majority of Lufthansa’s pilots has announced that it has postponed plans and threats of future strikes thanks in part to the resumption of negotiations.
According the Union’s president, “We are currently in talks again. We won’t strike during the talks. The aim is to sign a wage agreement”. Hopefully they honor their commitment and work towards a resolution.
So it looks like for the next handful of weeks, passengers will have little to worry about as far as work stoppages are concerned. Hopefully both sides will finally agree on a happy medium.
Finally a bit of good news on a bitter and polarizing topic…….

In an updated timetable from LH, most if not all of their long haul flights departing Frankfurt and a few from Munich are cancelled for Tuesday,October 21, 2014. You can find the most updated timetable reflecting the cancellations here.
Most flights scheduled to depart LH’s long-haul gateways (North America, Asia, etc) on October 21 are scheduled to operate their flights to Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf. Most of the aircraft will be spending the night at their gateway cities tonight due to cancellations today making them available to fly back tomorrow.
However there are a few cancellations in that group including Johannesburg-FRA, Hong Kong – FRA, Sao Paulo – FRA, Shanghai – FRA and Seoul – MUC. There may be others so PLEASE check the link provided above or to check a specific flight, please use Lufthansa’s Flight Status Tool.
