Is there no interest in what seems like a huge issue effecting thousands of staff?
Sadly for their employees, airlines go bust every day. I think the main academic interest in Air Berlin would be as to why it has been allowed to stagger on with such prodigious losses for so long instead of folding earlier. How many possible start-ups has it deterred or prevented whilst dragging itself along zombie-like? Not good for the market or for long-term employment.
