The crown crisis hits the airline industry with full force. Costs have to come down, no question about that. According to an article in “Switzerland at the weekend”, the Swiss Airline Chair, founded in 2019, goes particularly far. Cut the salaries of the 100 employees in early 2021.
According to the report, employees have until mid-September to sign new, significantly poorer employment contracts. Otherwise, they are threatened with a change notice.
120 francs for a parking space
Specifically: With the new contracts and the short-time work that still prevails, flight attendants would receive less than CHF 2,000 net per month. And that’s with a 100 percent workload.
Now they also have to pay 120 francs for a parking space. And do extra work, like cleaning the cabins after a flight. “The mood is miserable,” says an insider from “Switzerland at the weekend”. “Or we sign and work for a starvation wage. Or we look for another job, which is not easy at the moment. “
“Changes are inevitable”
For Shpend Ibrahimi, CEO of the president, changes in employment conditions are “inevitable.” The aviation industry is in a crisis like never before. Job protection is a top priority.
The president pays the industry standard salaries. At the lowest salary level, a flight attendant with a 100 percent workload would earn CHF 3,100 gross per month. Employees are understandably afraid for their work. “We regret that too,” says the CEO. (pbe)
