LH have had someone on the board for over 10 years now and have continually had an opportunity to influence the fleet and network structure. Within that time they've had the ability to veto any fleet expansion plans for routes not to their liking.

Correct
Within that time they've had the ability to veto any fleet expansion plans.
Wrong. With 50% plus 1 share, SMB had the only veto and did exactly as he wanted.
The current masters had NO IDEA that SMB was starting up Baby until 8 January 2002 when the primary IT supplier was summoned to The Hall to a) make the airline bookable within the week and b) have it up and running in March.
In fact, no-one in the
bmi organisation was aware of the plans until 2 January.
One of many true stories.
You have no idea.....
