Pension Details
last update
Luxembourg state pension which is -as you would expect from the officialy richest country in the world 2007- not the worst + a fonds based pension plan from "swiss life insurance". You can choose (and change) from guaranteed to high risk fonds and the company will then invest for you a variable amount based on your rank and salery on a monthly basis.

Staff travel Exists on paper only for partner and kids until 21: Embargo for USA and China, as well as South America (de facto) since return flights go via Puerto Rico (USA). Most of the Africa flying is done by CVI with no privileges for CV staff. Stops in BAK, KRW, ALA, OVB are impossible or require visas. Roster instability also prevents plannable staff travel.
