FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Passengers of German airline Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) faced hundreds of possible flight cancellations after cabin crew representatives outlined strike plans for the next few weeks following the collapse of last-ditch pay talks.
The UFO union, which represents 18,000 Lufthansa flight attendants, said on Tuesday it would give only a few hours' notice for most strikes, raising the threat of flight disruption.

UFO head Nicoley Baublies said the first strike could come as early as Wednesday and focus on selected airports. "We could hold the strike for five or six hours at a time at selected airports," he said.
