Expressflight,

And it's true, news such as this becomes very quickly forgotten, this week's news becomes next week's fish & chips wrapper.

I'm so far removed from UK and without TV or radio I have very little idea what people on the street may be talking about but I'd hazard a guess they're talking about the economy, the Jimmy Savile scandal, the US presidential election, that's there's some maniac driving around Cardiff hitting people with his car, realistically how many people do you think are talking about some tin pot airline from Germany that the vast majority have never heard of?

And when some minute percentage of the news reading public decide to travel to or from Dresden or Saarbrucken in 6 months or a year from now they'll perhaps get a secretary or a travel agent to organise it or they may well go to one of the many search engines, the chances that they'll look and/or particularly care regarding the identity of the operator is questionable, paramount will be the price and/or schedule.
