LHR given up on.
Many parts of SE Asia given up on.
Australia given up on.
N. America together with UA where they are head-to-head against IAG?
L. America they have very little presence at the moment.
Guangzhou, 2nd busiest airport in China- given up on.
Middle East- inferior product and higher prices by far.
N. Africa- barely present.
Secondary German airports- given up on.

I sure hope their business ex-France and MUC/FRA are good enough to support a world carrier.
Maybe the new strategy is not to be a world carrier but a German carrier, focusing on German corporate clients catering from FRA/ MUC hubs, in which case rest of us are all expendable riff raffs...
