If it's all going to work as you describe it begs the question, despite how open the German industry appears on the face of it just how much meddling is there behind the scenes at federal and state government level?
I'm thinking that AB transfers longhaul aircraft to Eurowings at MUC, and as Condor exits long haul at MUC, EW enters seamlessly. is the German government's goal to kill of competition in the scheduled sector. Appears a bit too choreographed for my liking.
