Lufthansa Group decides on first restructuring package
Additionally, a number of A320s and A340s from Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline and Eurowings are being either withdrawn from service and/or phased out.
Wondering how this will impact the UA flyers - especially folks in this forum.

How many A380s does that leave in the fleet? I liked having the A380 on IAH-FRA because it was pretty easy for Y-J upgrades using PPs (not so easy from J-F but still some success). Of course, who knows when LH will return to IAH and with which aircraft (I would hope at least eventually 747-8).
