just to clarify the other issue:

there is an age limit imposed both on F/O and CPT positions which is against EU regulations and against german legislation.

LH has been doing this for decades and they are arrogant enough to continue this practice. Who is responsible for this? The union? The management? You will encounter difficulties finding out.

This has been the only job offer (apart from the odd 60 rule) that I've seen where a max. age of 45 is required for captains. This is outrageous, to say the least.

Surprisingly this doesn't seem to be much of a concern for most german guys - and I have no reason to believe that german law is not applicable in this case - because in that country everybody who is working outside LH is only working for him/herself.
