Pilotengehalt: Das verdienen Lufthansa-Piloten 2026
Piloten verdienen in der Lufthansa-Gruppe nirgendwo so gut wie bei der Kernmarke Lufthansa Airlines. Dennoch sind sie unzufrieden. Ist das berechtigt? Der Gehaltscheck zeigt die Details.
Frankfurt - The attempt to permanently resolve a long-standing conflict between the Pilotenvertretung Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) and Lufthansa management has concluded without success. The main points of contention involved pension benefits and compensation for pilots of Lufthansa Classic, Lufthansa Cargo, and Eurowings, as well as a tariff social plan for Cityline cockpit personnel.
No resolution or ruling was provided by the appointed mediators. The situation now turns to the scheduled mediation, which runs until November 15th, focusing on issues affecting all Lufthansa group flight operations, as well as the content of the failed schlichting. If no resolution is reached, further labor disputes may arise next year.
For outsiders, especially passengers affected by past strikes, it is difficult to comprehend why resolving this ongoing conflict proves so challenging. After all, flight attendants deserve fair compensation. This report sheds light on the costs of pilot training and the specific amounts Lufthansa and Eurowings will pay captains in 2026.
