Salary increase in August 2022
We would like to inform you that as per the CWA 2020-2022 Art. 38.1., the salaries for all pilots will be increased by 1% as of 1 August 2022. The new salary should be displayed on your monthly pay slip for August 2022 and can be crosschecked with the tables in the CWA.
Sickness on a Rotation
In previous updates we already mentioned that colleagues who became sick or have been put into quarantine during a rotation did not receive a compensation as per CWA 36.16.2. and 36.16.3. respectively for arriving home late into their off days. In the absence of a clear and transparent procedure for sickness on a rotation, management unilaterally decided at the beginning of the year not to compensate these lost off days anymore.
We have escalated the issue with the Unions with the aim to secure and recover the affected off days if a pilot cannot spend these days at home and are glad to inform you that an Amendment to the CWA was signed on 21 July 2022.
For the first time at Cargolux there is now a procedure in place that adds clarity and transparency in case of sickness on a rotation and ensures that no off days are lost.
Please click here to read the Amendment.
Hotel Issues in ANC
Thanks to your continued reports the procedure of where to accommodate crews in case of the contracted hotel being overbooked has been reconsidered and changed as follows:
If the demand for accommodation exceeds the number of contracted rooms at the Sheraton, Travel Office Area 1 will book additional rooms at a higher rate or must book a different hotel based on availability for the whole duration of the planned layover.
Alternate suitable accommodations in order of preference with “walk in rate/rack rate” are:
Marriott Hotel
Captain Cook
Hilton Hotel (refurbished Tower only)
Alyeska Resort Girdwood
Aloft Hotel as last recourse (6 rooms per night contracted)
To ensure that the new procedure is followed please check that if you are booked at the Aloft hotel as a last recourse, no vacancies are available for the whole duration of your planned layover at the other alternative suitable hotels. If so, please ask Crew Control about coordination for a rebooking and send a copy of the report to cvhotels@alpl.lu to enable us to readdress the issue with the relevant departments.
