Lufthansa strike

LUFTHANSA is likely be virtually grounded as you read this report with the airline's pilots on strike from midnight.  The action is due to end Friday morning but there is bound to be a knock-on effect with both aircraft and crews out of position.  At least two-thirds of services have been cancelled.  The disruption, over pay and job security, will also affect German Wings and the cargo division.  However regional services will not be involved nor Lufthansa Italia.  Passengers can check the internet for the skeleton timetable of about 600 flights the airline still wants to service from today until late Thursday. www.lufthansa.com
