As a matter of fact

- most LH fleet C- and D-checks are done outside Germany since the early 1990s
- the facilities are called Shannon, Budapest, Manila, Malta and Sofia and were established in that order, Sofia opened last in 2008
- all facilities were established with the unanimous voting of the board of directors on which sit union and workers council members
- employment in Germany in Base and Line Maintenance has GROWN by about 1,000 employees in the same timeframe, i.e. in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Berlin mainly, e.g. by converting qualifications to special products as tankers, state and private aircraft to name a few
- not everybody could stay in exactly the same job at exactly the same airport, but this is normal life in commercial aviation
- worldwide employment has grown by about 2,000 employees in the facilities above

So where is the point here?
