113,000passngers have not been able to get to destinations due to strikes. The strikes have resulted in 929 flights that were due to leave Frankfurt and other national airports around Germany, got cancelled.
There are more strikes to come according to the members of an online club. The strikes are because of the retirement benefits not being high enough.
Monday's strike will run from 03:30 GMT until 22:00 GMT in Frankfurt and Duesseldorf and 23:00 GMT at Munich.
It will affect more than three times as many flights as a nine-hour walkout last Friday, and almost double the 520 cancelled on Saturday.
UFO, which is looking to keep early retirement benefits and pensions for its members, said it is seeking a "clear sign" of a sustainable agreement.
Lufthansa's reluctance to meet its demands is "not comprehensible" given the company just raised its full year profit forecast to €1.95bn, the union said.
Even with Lufthansa making an increasing profit and are still refusing to pay, keeping in mind that they still have to cover their fixed and variable costs.
However with customers/passengers not getting to their destinations, and refunds being required, their increase in profit might hit a rough patch and in their breakeven analysis, might indicate changes will need to be made in order to keep making profits and not losses.

2/4 - sadly you seem to adopt the role of commentator rather than interpreter here and seem to re-tell the case rather than look at it through the eyes of a student of business. CUEGIS concepts are given but not explained.
