BERLIN: Pilots at German flag carrier Lufthansa will resume their strike on Tuesday and Wednesday Dee Gordon Jersey , their union said, as talks over a dispute concerning wages ended without a resolution.


Pilots' union Cockpit said it was calling on members flying short-haul flights to stay away from work on Tuesday, and those flying both short and long-haul destinations to stage a walkout on Wednesday.


""Unfortunately, high-level talks held today at short notice failed to lead to an agreement on the wage contract,"" said Joerg Handwerg Carlos Ruiz Jersey , board member at Cockpit.


""It is completely incomprehensible that (Lufthansa) has refused to put forward an offer that can at least form the basis of a negotiation,"" he added.


Lufthansa was forced to cancel more than 2,700 flights, affecting over 300,000 passengers Cheap Seattle Mariners Hats , after pilots went on strike from Wednesday to Saturday in their 14th walkout since April 2014.


To resolve the long-running dispute, Lufthansa on Friday said it could offer a 2.4-per cent pay rise in 2016, going up by another two percent to reach 4.4 per cent in 2017.


Pilots would also receive a one-off payment equivalent to nearly two months' wages.


The airline had previously proposed a 2.5-per cent wage hike.


But Friday's offer was swiftly rejected by Cockpit, which has been demanding a pay rise of an average of 3.66 percent per year, retroactive for the past five years.


The German carrier has been battling a series of walkouts by both the pilots and cabin crew over the past two years Cheap Seattle Mariners T-Shirts , as it seeks to bring down costs to survive competition from budget rivals such as EasyJet and Ryanair.


In July, it ended a long-running dispute with cabin crew through a deal on pay and working conditions, including a no-strike agreement and job guarantees until 2021.


The breakthrough came after cabin staff staged the longest walkout in Lufthansa's history last November, with a seven-day stoppage that led to 4,700 flight cancellations and grounded over half a million passengers.


The airline said last month that it expects its annual earnings before interest and tax will reach ""approximately the previous year's level"" of 1.8 billion euros.
