for the equal participation of men and women in management positions in the private sector and in government service”) took effect. Against this background, the com- panies of the Lufthansa Group decided to jointly increase the share of women on the rst management level from 9.6 percent (on June 30, 2015) to at least 10.5 percent by December 31, 2016 – while taking into account the respective frameworks of conditions. On the second management level the share of women is to rise from 15.9 percent to at least 17.9 percent. In this way, the aviation group is set to reach the goals resulting from the DA 30 com- panies’ self-imposed commitment ahead of schedule. Among other measures, the share of women in management positions is to increase by at least 30 percent by 2020 (base year: 2010). To persuade more women to choose a career in the cockpit, ve highly publicized Lufthansa Group long-haul ights took off for New York with all female crews on March 8, 2016 to mark International Women’s Day. Same pay for same performance At the Lufthansa Group, equal opportunity also includes remuneration. Collective labor agreements in areas with binding collective pay agreements have ensured since the 1970s that men and women receive the same salary for the same work. An exception is the area outside of collective agreements; here salaries are negotiated individually by strictly applying the criteria of experience, task relevancy and the measure of responsi- bility for employees (see page 78, Balance 2015). Thanks to a new labor agreement, Lufthansa employees paid outside of collec- tive agreements have had the option since 2016 to turn their “performance-oriented variable remuneration” into time off. Women in the cockpit While men continue to form the majority of pilots at the Lufthansa Group, female cap- tains have long since become a familiar sight. Currently, the Company employs more than 530 female pilots and has thus increased its share of women in this area to around 6 percent. At the regional subsidi- ary Lufthansa CityLine, the share of female rst of cers is even 13 percent. To persuade more women to choose a career in the cockpit, ve highly publicized Lufthansa Group long-haul ights took off for New York with all female crews on March 8, 2016 to mark International Women’s Day.
