  "account": "Lufthansa's conciliation talks with the pilot union Vereinigung Cockpit have ended without results. The two mediators, former prime ministers Roland Koch and Bodo Ramelow, chose not to propose a solution. Although new pilot strikes are not imminent, a broader mediation process between the parties is ongoing, covering not only collective bargaining issues but also strategic questions about Lufthansa's development. This mediation may still resolve the overall conflict between the company and its crews.",
  "summary": "The mediation between Lufthansa and its pilots has failed - but new strikes are not imminent for the time being. Behind closed doors, a second attempt at a comprehensive agreement is underway.",
