Dear Tafflyer,

I am convinced that especially the last paragraph of your post is completely untrue.

If you compare the average remuneration of pilots or cabin crew with the competition you will get a first idea of the cost position of Lufthansa. @:-)

Just follow the following links:

Or the privately operated portal for statistics:

Or a reliable German newspaper:

That said you can just move back to a previous post: While the passengers have their fair part on the restructuring efforts, the crews have not.

They even allowed to split up the Lufthansa Passenger Airline into a low-cost-subsidiary and a small core company. And the area near the Intercont. bases of Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf don't have the living costs of the SAR Hong Kong.

I know that their job is very demanding and full of responsibility and challenges. But nevertheless there is no reason for overpayment.
