Der arbeitslose Swissair-Pilot von Rio 25 Jahre nach dem Grounding: «Es war eine leichte Befehlsverweigerung, was wir gemacht haben»
Daniel Riediker war Co-Pilot bei der Swissair, als dieser 2001 das Geld ausging. Heute fliegt er für die Swiss und sagt, dass alles ganz anders sei als damals. Vor allem, weil es sich nun um eine deutsche Airline handle.
Daniel Riediker, a Swissair pilot who was grounded in Rio de Janeiro 25 years ago, speaks about his experience in a recent interview. He recalls that he was the co-pilot of Gerhard Zumstein, the captain, when the Swissair grounded on October 2, 2001. Riediker now flies for Swiss and notes that the situation is very different from when he was grounded. He emphasizes that the photo taken of him at the time has become a symbol of the company's downfall, capturing a moment that marked Swiss economic history.
