While strikes are monthly occurrences at Lufthansa (sometimes even more often),they're less common at airlines in Asia. At least for the pilots. Well, it looks like a pilot strike could be on the horizon at Korean Air, or as management and the unions are in a huge disagreement over potential pay raises.
Through January 29,the airline's two pilot unions will be voting on management's proposed 1.9% pay raise for pilots. The union isn't ecstatic with this proposal, so I'm guessing it will be voted down. The pilots want a 37% pay raise, and citing that they haven't received large increases lately. This is despite the fact that Korean Air is believed to have lost money in 2015.
