The Cockpit Association (VC) has drawn a positive interim conclusion following the industrial action by pilots at Discover Airlines. Negotiations on a new remuneration and collective agreement for the cockpit personnel of EW Discover GmbH, who are stationed in Germany, have begun.
Despite challenges and "attempts at intimidation" from the employer, the VC representatives emphasize that the pilots want to negotiate their collective bargaining conditions themselves. Andreas Pinheiro, President of the Cockpit Association, announced that the VC will continue to negotiate to achieve better working conditions and collective agreements for its members. The solidarity measures at Lufthansa Cityline and Lufthansa Passage have shown that the Discover pilots are part of a strong and supportive community.
