LTU and Dba pilots staged a warning strike

LTU and Dba pilots staged a warning strike from 0530 to 0800 local time (0430 to 0700 UTC) on 18 November 2008. Four LTU flights were canceled and 10 were delayed due to the action, which was intended to protest cost-cutting measures by parent airline Air Berlin. The strike by pilots at Dba caused less disruption due an already reduced work schedule that was implemented in response to a similar warning strike the week before; the airline is expected to end flight operations entirely by the end of November.
