They are simply idiots, the people who run this company, just like with Lufthansa, with all the copinage, nepotism and mediocrity of the people who have these positions. They fill all the positions (such as marketing in this case) with their own pals and, basically, people like themselves whom they especially don't feel threatened by. I believe it's going to take an embarrassing bankruptcy, à la Swissair, to thump the truth home to everybody. Bande de cons. Believe me, it's much the same (probably worse) in music, where a bunch of greedy agents run a handful of figurehead people and make the worst decisions, often ending up with orchestras having to get rid of their conductors at great expense, or opera houses firing their managers but still having to pay out huge sums according to contract.
Is any twit really going to take them up on these offers? Certainly, no-one here (I hope).

And you missed that in the conditions of the offer :
"Additional baggage fees may apply"
So it's a MiNi Première fare
What a joke
