Eurowings Europe crews agree to labour contract

Eurowings Europe and trade union Vida have agreed on a contract for cockpit and cabin crews, retroactive to March 1. The agreement includes a comprehensive package of additional benefits and up to 20% increases in base salary for flight attendants. In addition, bonuses of up to 25% of the base salary are possible depending on the financial success of the company. Further, adjustments of 2% of base salary for 2020 and 2021 already have been negotiated. For experienced cockpit and cabin hires, the prior work histories of captains, first officers and flight attendants with other airlines will be accepted. “With these new compensation and working conditions for pilots and flight attendants, we are among the most attractive employers in Vienna,” Eurowings Group MD and human resources manager Frank Bauer said. <br/>
