Austrian Airlines pilots and stewardesses that have decided to take voluntary redundancy rather than switch to contracts similar to those as in effect at Tyrolean Airways will receive a golden handshake of €430,000. In total 341 staff members have decided to go. Employees that stay will have to work under contracts with wages that are around 25 per cent lower than the sum pilots and stewards of AUA are receiving at the moment.
