Swiss Airlines and pilots reach truce

channelnewsasia.com :

The management of Swiss International Airlines and pilots have agreed to keep talking in an attempt to reach a new wage agreement, heading off an implied threat to start replacing pilots who have declined to sign new labour contracts. After the last collective agreement expired in October, pilots assigned to the regional carrier were told to sign individual contracts, which the pilots' union said entailed salary cuts and the abolition of automatic salary releases based on length of service.

Swiss International, an amalgamation of bankrupted Swissair and the regional carrier Crossair, has for several months been involved in merger talks with the German carrier Lufthansa.
