If you look over business news in Germany today, there's page one chatter over the national airlines....Lufthansa.
So the management folks and the union met, and have ironed out the deal with the pilots. There had been serious talk of cutting pilots (in a big way). This was avoided.
The deal, as told by HR (public TV in the region)?
There is a deal which runs through or up to....March 2022.
No pilots are to be cut. The pilots will do short-time work....meaning taking pay-cuts but staying on the payroll....doing marginal hours.
The loss so far in 2020? Well....the airline has suffered greatly....over 5-billion Euro lost so far this year.
Getting everyone through the summer the summer of 2021? More or less. No one really says much over trip-planning for 2021, and one might suspect the most you'd see is a 50-percent return to normalcy (with the vaccinations as the key part of this change).
If Germany gets to the 90-percent level with vaccinations and manages some 'rules' on visitors with such....maybe around Christmas-time of 2021....you might start seeing a regular travel situation.
