Pilots at 3-day strike

In an ongoing dispute over working conditions, pilots at Eurowings, a low-cost division of the German airline Lufthansa, have begun their second strike this month.

The Vereinigung Cockpit union called pilots out on a three-day strike starting Monday morning.

 Despite the strike, Eurowings predicted that more than 230 of the 400 services scheduled for Monday would proceed as scheduled. Flights run by the Frankfurt- and Munich-based Eurowings Discover and its Austrian affiliate Eurowings Europe were unaffected.

At Duesseldorf airport, however, 102 of the day’s scheduled 171 Eurowings flights were canceled, German news agency dpa reported.

Pilots are asking for the maximum number of flying hours to be reduced. They previously staged a one-day strike on Oct. 6. Eurowings described the latest strike as disproportionate and irresponsible.

After the airline and the union secured a salary agreement to mitigate the consequences of inflation, strikes at parent company Lufthansa were suspended last month._AP  news
