During September and October Economy and Business meals on LH flights ex-Japan feature courses with (Bavarian) sausages in one form or another. I doubt if they serve any Weisswurst though...
Here's a YouTube video of Lufthansa crew and Oktoberfest.

and very nice they were too.
Just remember, you peel Weißwurst.
The crew were in the usual uniforms, not the special ones.

I will be heading Oktoberfest in a couple of weeks! It would make me even more exited about Oktoberfest if the flight crew were to wear Tracht! Maybe I should wear my dirndl as well?!?!? I just hope to see O'Batzda on the menu!

If you see all the requests (will I have the crew onboard my flight?) here I do not think that "no one cares", we Germans (including me!) are sometimes very unwell with all this tracht and so on, but I think it is a nice idea. And a lot of people seems to like it!

Most frequent flyers will rather have a regular salt and pepper streuer than such tracht.

Do the maths: what is more expensive? Regular "Salz & Pfeffer - Streuer" year around or two weeks of flight crews in Tracht on selected routes?
Nobody asked what is more important or appreciated by the pax...

The trachten outfits have been issued to 13 FAs, which also do PR events in MUC. So I think the damage is well contained and probably paid from some marketing cost center in MUC.

Hmmm I assume this is not the "Bruno" lederhosen that the male FA's will be debuting with... 
Or maybe that is just for F pax?
