The first two days of the strike affected about 150,000 passengers of mainly short and medium haul flights, whereas the third day hit long haul flights. Lufthansa wants to abolish an early retirement scheme that allows pilots to retire at 60% of pay when they are 55 years. Pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) has pointed out that pilots at British Airways and KLM enjoy similar programmes. Lufthansa management, in competition with low budget carriers like Ryanair and EasyJet, says it can no longer afford to maintain the scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.iol.co.za\u002Fbusiness\u002Fcompanies\u002Flufthansa-pilots-to-strike-again-1.1789825#.VJGztXsaCsY\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.iol.co.za\u002Fbusiness\u002Fcompanies\u002Flufthansa-pilots-to-strike-again ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
