Future of Germanwings

Hi folks,

what are you thinking about the future of Germanwings? Will Germanwings be part of LH in the future, or what will happen?

...but what are they planning? GWI just has a handfull of planes. Absolutely no competitor to Ryanair or easyjet.
And what about Cityline and Eurowings?

Future of Germanwings

The translation makes interesting reading.Please see below for a literal translation

The airline so far still is to 100 per cent in the possession of Eurowing According to the failed negotiations over a fusion of the low cost airline of Lufthansa, Germanwings, with the airlines TUIfly and the Thomas Cook daughter CONDOR the largest German airline possibly plans a single-handed attempt. The news magazine “Der Spiegel” reported on Saturday first that breits at the next supervisory board meeting on 3 December was to be decided to couple Germanwings more closely to the company. Lufthansa would get thereby for the first time direct access to Germanwings. The airline however still is to 100 per cent in the possession of the Lufthansa regional daughter Eurowings. Those again belongs in each case to approximately half to the Lufthansa company and the building contractor Albrecht Knauf, which wants to deliver its portions however to at the end of of 2008 to the partner. According to data of the magazine Germanwings could compete in the future strengthened with foreign competitors such as Ryanair or Easyjet. The cheap airline could take over even some decentralized distances of Lufthansa on a long-term basis off the large traffic turntables.

Germanwings and Condor??

My bet is they will take control of 4U and merge with DE and apply the same contractual agreement as with De at this time(Air Berlin contracts no less) i.e filling the pool of pilots from outside the Konzern on cheaper contracts.
Just hope they let us keep our yellow cards. After 17 years i cant believe we are set to go to the bottom of the pile on ID travel Boo
