Mehdorn (ex DB) the new interim boss

If Hunold had to go as he was deemed to have lead AB in the wrong (unprofitable) direction through risky acquistions such as LTU, then his chosen interim replacement Mehdorn seems to be viewed as somewhat worse than Hunold, at least if the comments left behind the "Tagesspiegel" articel are an accurate barometer.

He seems to have done no favours for the Deutsche Bahn during his time in charge, and contributors seem almost to a man (and woman) pesimistic about AB's future is he stays in charge for any length of time.

Can't help thinking that IAG might find the chance to purchase a major German carrier at a knock down price too tempting to walk away from.
