Lufthansa Group: Every seventh pilot -, and sixth a flight attendant job at risk

At Lufthansa around 22,000 Places are in danger. Now, the group has shown, where and how many Jobs are in the balance.

It’s just a calculator though, but still a little pleasing Numbers. Last week, the tips of the Lufthansa Group and the trade unions Verdi, Vereinigung Cockpit and Ufo met. The personnel situation in the group was discussed as a result of the Corona-crisis. On Monday (15. June) were also informed of the works councils. The conclusion: There is an over-capacity of 22,000 full-time is.

Alone, the airline Lufthansa was affected “in perspective with mathematically almost 5000 Points,” said the group. In the case of the pilots in 600 jobs are at risk, in the case of the flight 2600 and the ground staff of 1500 companions. Also 1400 Posts in the Headquarters and other group companies in administration are affected. “According to our current assumptions about the business over the next three years alone, we at Lufthansa have the perspective of employment for every seven pilots, and every sixth flight attendants, as well as numerous staff on the ground,” says Michael Niggemann, chief human resources and legal.

Figures could still rise

Lufthansa Technik has a worldwide surplus of around 4500 Points, of which 2500 are in Germany. The catering subsidiary LSG Group has worldwide 8300 to much, in Germany there are 1500. The excess capacity could even rise, if you can’t find a way, “with competitive personnel costs to come through the crisis,” says Niggemann. The group proposes short-time working, collective agreements on the reduction of the working week, or other cost-cutting measures.

Not much time remains. The crisis agreements to 22 to. June be agreed. Niggemann: “In the greatest crisis in the history of aviation, we want to ensure, in spite of all the challenges, more than 100,000 jobs in the Lufthansa Group over the long term. This painful restructuring measures are unavoidable, we want to implement, if possible, in a socially responsible manner.”
