Air Berlin together with Germania is one of the few German airlines that don't want anything to do with the VC (German ALPA).
This I find interesting since TUI now bought Germania.. Anyone with a buisness-sence greather than that of an arse realizes that Hapag Lloyd is going to be slaughtered..
Who want's two airlines in the same country especially if one is incomparably cheaper..
It's not rocket-science, it's common sense..
