LUFTHANSA AND GERMAN WINGS TRADE UNION WITH AIRPORT EMPLOYEES, SPECIALLY THE PILOTS HAVE ANNOUNCED THE SCHEDULED ENFORCEMENT OF AIRPORT EMPLOYEES AND CITIZENS CIVIL INDISCIPLINE BY PROTEST DEMONSTRATION AND STRIKE, DUE TO THE UNHEEDED DEMANDS OF THE AIRPORT EMPLOYEES THAT ENTAILED THE DEMAND FOR TARIFF INCREASE THAT HAS BEEN SPECIFIED AS FIVE PERCENT TARIFF INCREASE.



     Lufthansa Airline and German Wings Trade Union named the Cockpit Professionals with the airport employees, specially the pilots and those in the duty of accompaniment of the domestic and International flights bound for short and far away destinations have announced their intention for the enforcement of the scheduled airport employees and citizens civil indiscipline by protest demonstration and strike for tomorrow on Wednesday November twenty third in the Year two thousand and sixteen, exactly one day before the previously scheduled airport employees and citizens civil indiscipline by protest demonstration and strike, due to the unheeded demands of the airport employees that entailed the demand for tariff increase that has been specified as five percent tariff increase for the airport employees, specially the pilots with those in the duty of accompaniment as the flight attendants the security personnel and the flight engineers of both the domestic and International flights. Over eight hundred and seventy eight flights of Lufthansa Airline and the German Wings scheduled for departure from Frankfurt Am Main Airport, Dusseldorf Airport Hamburg Airport and other airports in the various States of Germany have been cancelled. Passengers that have made reservation for the cancelled flights, specially the far away, or long distance destination flights would not be compensated for the delay and inconveniency caused by the one day general strike of the airport employees at the mentioned airports of the various States of Germany, due to the prior announcement of the strike that has been made two weeks ago, before the strike, except for the reservation fees that will not be charged again for the domestic and long distance flights  passengers who would reserve seats in the next available flight after the one day general strike at the mentioned airports. Few domestic passengers would, instead take off for a ride in the suggested alternative means of transportation system which has been the rail road means of transport for the domestic passengers within Germany and the Eurozone Countries. The estimated projected losses that have been sustained by the airlines has been estimated at the amount in Euros that may exceed ten million Euros in just a single day, despite the transfer of many of the passengers of the cancelled flights to the Transatlantic and Transpacific flights of other International foreign airlines. Other demands of the airport employees entailed safety concern on flights schedule of both the domestic and long distance International flights for the overstressed captains in command of the aircrafts bound for the domestic short and the International long distance flights to far away destinations. Besides, insurance, or security plans for senior pilots, particularly those that have been described as at the edge of retirement age and with those that may have been retired earlier and allocated pension without insurance bonus, specially for the captains in command of the aircrafts and of  the mentioned airlines. Over time bonus for the domestic and long distance flight pilots has remained an issue of main concern among the government authorities the airline managers the trade unions and the airport employees that may soon and repeatedly convene to reach compromise on the disputed demands of the airport employees for tariff increase that has been specified as five percent tariff increase, despite the allocated two point nine percent tariff increase by the government and the airlines for the pilots.
