Some battles have to be fought to a reasonable demarcation line. The LH Appomattox Court House so to say.

I have had a lot of downtime at home with aging parents, and business is slow until Mid-April...what do others have for excuses?

How about "no internet onboard shorthaul aircraft of M&M integrated airlines"?

Quality-wise, you made it into the Top5 easily and I can assure you that one spends way more time reading your posts in comparison to some other posters.

Summarizing some side discussions with other users via private messages, I can assure you that a lot of folks agree with me and also liked the input provided by yourself.

I wish I hadn't bothered to reply.
It is indeed sad, and so fitting that all those guys swear not to fly Lufty again only to return a few weeks later with another rant.

As a fellow not Slav, but capable to understand them, I think you probably meant "V" and "Q"....

if there is a vote to be held on the topic, I'd vote for too many fricatives for sure

Oh then you are excused - we aren't in there and hence quite nnocent.

You are spot on. When I left Europe, I didn't even know Valentine's Day existed outside of slasher movies and now LH hauls hundreds of ton of biological waste North .

Correct.

There is a great blog on Harvard Business Review today noting that more couples buy flowers and other things out of a feeling of moral obligation than anything else.

Still- nice piece of business for Lufthansa!

Absolutely good for business!

Glad I don't have any moral obligations and a wife who supports that!

I took Ms. Travelsig out for dinner last night and she was very happy with that- so also not in the "moral obligation" category.

On the way to FRA right now so quite an early start to the day....
