Pilots’ union Cockpit said it was calling on members flying short-haul flights to stay away from work on Tuesday, and those flying both short and long-haul destinations to stage a walkout on Wednesday.
Lufthansa was forced to cancel more than 2,700 flights, affecting over 300,000 passengers, after pilots went on strike from Wednesday to Saturday in their 14th walkout since April 2014.
Lufthansa on Friday said it could offer a 2.4-percent pay rise in 2016, going up by another two percent to reach 4.4 percent in 2017.
Friday’s offer was swiftly rejected by Cockpit, which has been demanding a pay rise of an average of 3.66 percent per year, retroactive for the past five years.
