Disgruntled HON Members [Skoda Superb for FCT? and other discussions]
I noticed today at FRA amongst the Cayennes and Audis a number of Skoda Superbs. Glad I was on the bus
So its not just FTLs that get a raw deal

What´s wrong with Skoda? It´s still a personal ride instead of a bus, and Skoda Superb is fine car for 3-8 minutes at the airport.

The Skoda is huge inside. Very comfortable.
We run a fleet of them for our sales force.

If any salesforce in any serious company is clocking up enough miles/travelling largely J or F to go HON someone with more info please let me know. In the former case they should win a productivity award In the latter case I want a job there!!

You may not care but the CEOs may Its a silly perk from a utililitarian perspective but I think the idea is product differentiation which makes a huge difference IMHO in attracting and keeping top flyers in the airline

Also the German economy is export driven, thus lots of flying involved.
Add the two together and you will see a lot of people in sales with HON status.
Most German DAX30 companies have travel policies for intercontinental flights btw. Why do you think LH is able to fill up their outdated C cabin constantly?

To all above who took issue with me, and rightly so, I stand corrected Please accept my apologies
If this is the case then LH should continue to do what they seem to be doing already ie downgrade thier already second rate soft product and block emirates etc from their markets and use *A to keep their global profile through a variety of takeover/merger/soft alliance instruments?
