The UFO union said action will run until November 13 unless a fresh set of demands on retirement and pension benefits is met. Head of the union Nicoley Baublies said Lufthansa has until 1600 on Thursday to respond to a list of demands. He said he did not expect the German carrier to come around after two years of negotiations. "All passengers are advised to assume that their flights will not take off," the union head said. The dispute is over Lufthansa's plans to scrap an arrangement under which pilots can retire at 55 and receive up to 60 per cent of their pay until they reach the statutory retirement age of 65.        We are closely monitoring this situation and reaching out to traveler managers / travelers who may be affected by the strike.       ATG has Customer Coaches available around-the-clock if you   need assistance with your travel plans.
