German people pay a second time for their ticket DUS MIA or TXL JFK. obviously it will be the same aircraft, the same personnel, and the same route, they just bought the ticket a second time.
Investors?
There have been big companies interested in airberlin paying money, investors would at least get a bit or a small percentage. Somebody, he wears glasses, took away interesting routes and aircrafts from airberlin so other companys wouldn't pay as much as with etops 330 etc... the guy with glasses now bought big parts of airberlin for much less money
