Pretty much fits into Germany's overall policy of ridding itself of any defining, characteristic traits and elements, and transitioning to some undefined crowd, which is perceived as being particularly "European" or "Globalist".
Pretty much true, but with the exemption of the infamous 12 years, which apparently labels every German as guilty. Doesn´t work very well with the mostly anti-jewish "new Germans" who flood our streets these days, though.
But btc, I don´t think Spohr and his board do feel anything like people that care about aviation and its heritage. They are dissolving the brand Lufthansa, I guess it won´t mean anything any more in a few years and thus the heritage bird is an unwanted expense. Claims have been made by board members, that they feel underpaid, probably some stock holder with a say told them to get more profitable..
