Definitely just a rumour! Nrs 7+8 have to get going first, anyway.
Talks about aquiring some KLM MD11s - which would have to be converted - are going on. But if the market keeps up its current pace, who knows....
All of Lufthansa is hiring AND will be hiring in the midterm, too.
Applications to the same address IŽve stated many times before - no special person to talk to to get in easier.
Some other possibilities of employment are being contemplated, though by VC and management.
If/as soon as anything is put in writing IŽll let everyone know. (And IŽll be one of the first to know.)
