Lufthansa CEO eyes pay cuts for Air Berlin crew in rescue plan
Frankfurt
DEUTSCHE Lufthansa AG chief executive officer Carsten Spohr is ready to welcome large numbers of employees from insolvent competitor Air Berlin Plc to build up his airline's Eurowings unit, promoting his company as a safe haven for jobs - albeit with concessions.
"Those of you who have worked with Air Berlin crews know it: These are top people, and we'll be very glad to get as many as we can over to us," Mr Spohr said at an internal staff meeting. "Of course, we cannot hire these employees on Air Berlin terms, but on Eurowings terms, but we do want to be fair and take into account seniority and experience."
