I could see F continued on LX as a kind of niche product.
LX is the boutique airline within the group, hence I can only hope that this will continue to be the case and LX will continue to offer First Class on all it's long haul flights. Once the situation will improve and the cash flow situation will allow it LH will really need to think where they want to head going forward.Their current Business Class product is average at best, let's see how good the news seats will be. However their servive / catering offering in C is beyond anything special. Hence, if they should decide to get rid of F they need to develop a concept simmiar as found on QR which really gives you the feeling when flying C that you are in a premium product and it's comore comparable to F, whereas in LH currently it reminds you more of a good Y product (Service / catering).
