The union representing pilots at Deutsche Lufthansa AG’s BMI unit has written to U.K. Transport Secretary Philip Hammond asking him to try to protect its members’ jobs should the German carrier try to sell the airline.
Hammond should meet with Lufthansa and tell the carrier that any deal should protect U.K. jobs, the British Airline Pilots’ Association said in a statement today. Lufthansa board member Stefan Lauer said Sept. 5 that the carrier hired a bank to “support in the search for a partner” for unprofitable BMI.
