  "account": "Condor has reached a long-term collective bargaining agreement with its pilots, represented by the Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) union. The deal, which was approved by 67% of union members, runs until September 2029 and includes a no-layoff clause for the airline's approximately 1,000 pilots. The agreement also provides for a 7% salary increase starting in October 2028, after a period of zero pay increases. The pact includes a new leisure model that allows pilots to have more consecutive days off after their shifts, and VC President Andreas Pinheiro said it shows that solutions can be found even under economic pressure if parties negotiate on an equal footing.",
  "summary": "Condor pilots will not receive higher salaries until October 2028. Nevertheless, the new contract promises permanent improvements - and provides a contrast to the stalemate in negotiations at Lufthansa.",
