Is that a smart commercial move by LHG ? They now need to pay AV for 2 J tickets

Worth the negative resume here ?
The OP realized he made a mistake with the short connection they booked, then came here to ask for advice. I had some sympathy under these circumstances,

But when OP started not only to rant about firing the crew, but also about contract law, how to run an airline better than Carsten (not a very low bar, I admit ) and then the rest of the lot, he lost my sympathy. OP made a mistake, tried but couldn't fix it but didn't then owe up to the consequences.

OP should have said "Oh sh*t, I was worried it would go wrong and now it did. Taking a plane in the middle of winter is inherently risky, so how can I get the best possible rebooking for two different tickets and then the highest compensation for the delay?". But he didn't...
