It does not really matter what the masses think!

This is between them - so you/ we will have to wait until it is settled and have to accept the risk of a strike....

Well my flight on the 6th went off with out a hitch. What a product Lufhtansa has for F.
WOW! I'm pretty much left speechless.

Great. My ORD-FRA flight is on the 9th, hoping for the same result.

This is a fascinating conclusion. What assumptions are necessary to determine LH needs to change pay in order to compete?

But if the plane for my flight to MUC never leaves earlier in the day, it still causes cancellations

Indeed. You referred JNB in your post, so I assumed you were on a long haul flight whose bird would have gotten to the departure point on the previous day. My apologies if this is not the case.
