However, at one day they had to start to manage an airline. And at the latest when starting their German adventure profitablity was no longer true. Could they manage in non (or not so much) regulated markets? No. There are only a few profitable airlines, BA is certainly not one of them.
posts like yours are so unhinged and full of rubbish that seems to me AB accession to OW has irked many die hard supporters of the yellow-and-blue cancer
. Perhaps they were expecting emperor Mayrhuber to step in and snap in a moment this last fastidious home mosquito, although with the current disastrous situation of German banking system it is unclear where LH would get the easy cash they're used to. As for airline profitability, unlike you I am not sure if LH would be one of those without the continuous unwavering support of government, regulators (domestic and EU) and financial establishment.
Potentially unstable fellow travelers. One more reason for me to further avoid travel with LH.
