Good God!
Do the Germans never learn?!?!?!?
For nearly 20 years they bought everything they could lay their hands on - and for the last 4 years they have been trying to get rid of it all. Lufthansa have several basket cases in play as we speak!
The only real success story has been Swiss and only then because they 'did not allow' Lufthansa to mess with them too much - they stayed in control.
Currently in the land of Lufthansa pain are: bmi (almost out of their misery), Austrian, German Wings, SN Brussels, Contact Air, Dolomiti and Jade.
If LH do take over TAP, do NOT expect them to sort anything out. Their management is no better than yours - just ask the boys and girls at British Midland.
