-kind of- open letter to the @lufthansa pilots,

Without a doubt, you have a right to demonstrate, but I’am ashamed for your behavior. Currently LH has to bear the 14th strike wave, since 2012, over your decision to rule the companies decisions for the future. I can understand that its hard to make sacrifices, but you all should understand that if you go on with this self destructive behavior, and if LH goes on paying everyone the way they do, there will be no Lufthansa to fly for in a few years time. And you all now that. I think what is most disturbing is the fact that a pilot already earns up to 225.000€ a year, and that you are asking for 22%(!) more by April 2017. Additionally you are getting a pension payed by the German pension bank and a Lufthansa pension, one of the last companies to have this system. In times of  a minimum wage of 8,50€ in Germany you should be just fine with your paycheck. But what really triggered me is the interview with Thomas von Sturm, who should be ashamed to call himself a Lufthansa pilot, where he openly states that „If we have to we can go on with this for five years“ and says that he hopes (!!) that they can damage Lufthansas reputation that much, that the company will have to accept there conditions. So, Thomas, if its that what you want namely bleeding out the company you work for, which is one of Germanys most reputable ones, go on you’re doing great so far! I hope you and your colleagues will learn that what they have with Lufthansa is more than lucky, otherwise start writing an application to Ryanair soon, they need a lot of pilots in their new planes!      

best regards Nick Thestorf.
