Quite. With the MUC stop, they are no faster on a MAN-SIN sector than anyone of the MEB3, or via LHR, CDG, AMS with the added bonus that the other options offer a choice of departure times.
They also offer a slower journey on the Kangaroo route than the above and are under pressure from CX (soon to be Hainan and Air China).
My prediction is a 2016 announcement for a 2017 decoupling.
