LH Avoids a Strike...NONREVS BEWARE****
Lufthansa has narrowly avoided a second strike by making a deal with its pilot union at the last minute. The Vereinigung Cockpit pilots’ union had called for what would’ve been a second walkout in a single week at the airline, but now that Lufthansa is offering a more favorable contract, the union is cancelling the proposed walkout.

The union planned to strike Wednesday through Thursday for passenger plane pilots, and Wednesday through Friday for those flying cargo planes. This second walkout was to be a follow-up to another held last Friday, which grounded 800 flights and affected more than 100,000 passengers, according to the Associated Press.
The first walkout lasted only one day. A two- and three-day walkout would’ve disrupted Lufthansa’s flight plans massively, so the airline is now approaching pilots with a deal that’s allegedly good enough for them to call off the strike.
