I think you will find LH has no shortage of bean counters either:-
- Gutting the M&M programme
- Cutting services to the regions
- Densification of short-haul including the hated seat
- Reducing F, both in cabin size and on the routes it is actually on
- Their own version of 'Mixed Fleet" crew

And meanwhile CX (and EY & SQ for that matter) undergoing a full cost saving review as yields are softening considerably.
