Also, Ive read an interesting report, one that staes MAN is in Lufthansa's masterplan for bmi. Seems bmi ditching MAN longhaul was nothing to do with the LH takeover, just so happened to be around the same time. (Lufthansa certainly didnt sanction it anyway)
Ah yes, the "LH 747-8 based at MAN on the DUS shuttle via JoBurg".
I can't see it myself but who knows you're the one in the know eh.
