"Now, regarding the catering. Putting domestic flights aside, which are still waiting to be settled, the catering you see now in Eurotraveller is how it will stay"
Well, thanks for the info - you've just lost another prospective passenger. Due to Lufthansa's timetable revisions, I was actually considering using ba for my next business trip as the mid-day LH BHX-FRA flight no longer connects properly with the FRA-FDH flight - whereas ba's does. But as the catering has obviously been dumbed down, I'll stay with the devil I know rather than switching.
Yes, we darn well do expect a proper service on European flights. Airlines which talk about 'products' rather than 'passenger service' are the ones to avoid.
Perhaps the best option from UK-FDH will turn out to be Ryanair from STN? Certainly it would be if it flew from BHX - and at least the flight would be quicker and wouldn't pretend to be anything other than a no-frills lo-co. Unlike ba.
