Thanks for the info guys, am amazed that pax route through BHX to get from EWR to MUC and DUS but there you go! I knew they were both *Alliance but didn't think this would be a priority codeshare route for them, but as they say, every little helps!
Be interesting to see if Mahan turn up tonight........
Thanks for the heads up on EK recruitment, might go down and give it a go
