U-Achim Bergmann uzogubha uKhisimusi nomndeni wakhe kulo nyaka - njenganoma yimuphi omunye unyaka. Usuku lokuzalwa lomkakhe lungoDisemba 23, izingane zombili zifunda emadolobheni ahlukene. Babuyela ekhaya ngamaholide, e-Mainz. Kodwa lapho uBergmann nabathandekayo bakhe abathathu beshintshisana ngezipho nezilokotho ezinhle, ngeke babe sedolobheni ngaseRhine – bazoba seBoston, Massachusetts. Ngoba yilapho ukapteni we-Airbus A340 ezobe elibangise khona ngomhla zingama-23 kuZibandlela - esemsebenzini. UBergmann useneminyaka engu-28 manje esebenza neLufthansa futhi useneminyaka engu-330 endizisa i-Airbus A340 ne-A10. Uthi uselahlekelwe yisibalo sokuthi ubesebenza kangaki ngamaholide, kodwa wengeza ngokuthi “Bengilokhu ngihamba nomndeni wami”.
Nakuba isisebenzi sendiza yaseLufthansa u-Elke Martha Körting-Mahran evame ukundiza ngesikhathi samaholide kaKhisimusi, kungokokuqala ngqa esebenza ngobusuku Bangaphambi KukaNcibijane. Nakuba uKhisimusi kuyisikhathi sonyaka lapho ekwazi khona ngempela ukuchitha isikhathi nezingane zakhe, usuku oluqondile alunandaba kangako kuye: “Izingane zami ezintathu zingabantu abadala,” kusho umgadli oneminyaka engu-58 ubudala, “uma kwenzeka okuthile. phezulu, sizovele sigubhe uKhisimusi kamuva”. Futhi ngonyaka odlule, u-Körting-Mahran waba “nezidlo zakusihlwa zomndeni” ezimbili: enye yangomhla zingama-24, ekhaya e-Bonn nezingane zakhe, kanti enye yangama-25, endaweni yokudlela yase-Black Forest eNew York City nezisebenzi. Ihlelwe ngukaputeni wabo, ikhokhelwa yiLufthansa. I-Körting-Mahran indiza "ixubile" - imizila emifushane nehamba isikhathi eside. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi indiza ilibangisephi noma ithatha isikhathi esingakanani, i-purser ihlose ukunikeza izivakashi zakhe ngaphezu kwamafu umuzwa wokuthi zisekhaya emkhunjini. “Ekhaya kude nasekhaya” – leso siqubulo sibaluleke nakakhulu kuye ngamaholide.
Isheduli encishisiwe phakathi namaholide
Abashayeli bamabhanoyi abangaphansi kuka-1000 bazosuka e-Frankfurt naseMunich ezikhungweni ezandulela uKhisimuzi nangoSuku LukaKhisimusi beya eLufthansa. Futhi ngalezi zinsuku ezimbili, amalungu ezisebenzi zamakhabethe angaphezu kuka-4500 azobe esemsebenzini, nabanye abangaphezu kuka-1000 abaphansi, belindile futhi bezibekele umsebenzi. Ngaphansi “kwezinsuku ezivamile”. Ngoba ngenkathi u-December 21 no-22 kuyizinsuku zethrafikhi zangaphambi kweholide nabagibeli abacishe babe ngu-67,000 abasuka eFrankfurt kuphela, abantu abaningi bancamela ukuchitha ubusuku obandulela uKhisimusi ngaphansi kwesihlahla esikhundleni sokuba sendizeni. Kungakho ishejuli yendiza yehliswa, ikakhulukazi emizileni enenani eliphezulu labahambi bebhizinisi. Lokhu kuthinta izindiza eziya e-Bangalore naseBoston, kodwa nasezindaweni zase-Europe njengeLondon. Mhla zingama-24 kuZibandlela, iLufthansa Group “ipaki” isamba sezindiza ezingama-44 ezithatha uhambo olude kanye nezingama-90 ezidonsa imihushana esikhumulweni sezindiza saseFrankfurt.
Abasebenzi abasemsebenzini ezindaweni eziningi zeLufthansa Group
Ishejuli yendiza encishisiwe noma cha – izinto azimi ngokuphelele ebusuku obuthule e-Lufthansa noma ezinye izinkampani zezindiza nezindawo zebhizinisi. Ukulungiswa kwezindiza e-Lufthansa Technik, ukwenza isibonelo, kusebenza amashifu ajwayelekile ubusuku nemini izinsuku ezingama-365 ngonyaka futhi “kuyibhizinisi njengenjwayelo” cishe kuzo zonke izindawo zokusebenza e-Eurowings – emoyeni nasemhlabeni. I-Lufthansa Systems iphinde inikeze ukwesekwa kwayo kwe-IT kwezicelo ezibalulekile zebhizinisi ngamaholidi futhi kwa-LSG Sky Chefs cishe abasebenzi abangama-400 endaweni yase-Frankfurt bazosebenza ukuze banikeze izivakashi zethu ukudla ngomhla ka-24 no-31 Disemba.

Futhi-ke, i-Lufthansa iqala kabusha ishejuli yendiza evamile ngesikhathi esifanele sonyaka omusha: phakathi kuka-1 no-6 ekuseni cishe zonke izidonsa zezindiza zizosetshenziswa kuphinifa lesikhumulo sezindiza e-Frankfurt, zenza “i-tug ballet” yazo ehlelwe ngokucophelela ngamalambu emikhosi. Ngobusuku bangaphambi konyaka omusha isisebenzi sendiza u-Elke Martha Körting-Mahran sizobe sisendleleni eya e-Algeria phakathi kwamabili. “Futhi ubani ozothola u-Eve Ncibijane ngaphezu kwamafu?”
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Aircraft maintenance at Lufthansa Technik, for instance, operates on normal shifts around the clock 365 days a year and it's “business as usual” in almost all operational areas at Eurowings – in the air and on the ground.
- And on these two days, over 4500 cabin crew members will be on duty in the air, with over 1000 more on the ground, on standby and reserve duty.
- No matter where the flight is headed or how long it takes, the purser aims to give her guests above the clouds the sense that they are at home on board.
