Lufthansa Truce Ends as Pilot Strike to Hit Long-Haul Routes

Deutsche Lufthansa AG pilots will resume striking Tuesday, almost six months after walkouts over cost cuts were halted as management and unions came together in the wake of a deadly crash at the company’s Germanwings arm.
Lufthansa scrapped 84 long-haul flights scheduled for Tuesday, or almost half of its intercontinental program, after the Vereinigung Cockpit union said pilots would strike from 8 a.m. through midnight. The action extends a series of 12 walkouts since April 2014, the last of which came three days before the March 24 crash in the French Alps.
