Lufthansa pilots called to strike on Thu, Fri (March 12, 13)

"The Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) union has called on more than 5,000 employees to strike this coming Thursday and Friday. In addition to flights departing from Germany operated by Lufthansa's core company, the strike will also affect ... for the first time, its regional subsidiary Lufthansa Cityline.

Last week, the union decided not to take strike action due to the tense situation in air traffic to the Middle East. Now, destinations in the Arab region are expressly excluded from the strikes—specifically these countries: Egypt, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Iraq, Israel, Yemen, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates."

We received notice that our connection from Frankfurt to Paris will likely be affected. Lufthansa indicated that they will contact us tomorrow afternoon with information on whether our flight is cancelled and whether we have been rebooked, and when. As many reported after the February strike, Frankfurt is the predominant airport to be affected. We went ahead and booked cancellable train tickets just in case Lufthansa cannot get us to Paris until Saturday or Sunday.
