Just read the Spohr interview and have to put in my 2 cents, sorry
First off he comes of as an asshole... Anyone in Belgium reading this should never spend another dime in his group! Anyone working at SN should probably look for work elsewhere soon!
Spohr is giving SN no tools to expand/grow... He's giving the staff bullshit and no reason to work hard to make the airline profit... and his theory of you make money you grow is the biggest lie/joke.... he's sinking millions and millions into Eurowings and there is absolutely no guarantee the airline will succeed... in fact the way its being put together it has a good chance of failing!
On the other hand if he were a smart guy and invested into LH, LX, OS, SN and made these 4 airlines work well together he could really build a European empire... and if he for one minute thinks that LH is a 5 Star airline then he has something coming... I say fly one way in Business Class on LH and one way on Qatar and you will see what a 5 star airline is.
I'm so disgusted I don't even want to continue however I will end with the best joke...
On the Name of Brussels Airlines he says that decision rests with the CEO Christina Foerster...
Off course the real responsible here is the idiot(s) who agreed to this deal with LH... People who have learned absolutely nothing from the SN-SR deal and the destruction of a great airline for no reason.... and now exactly the same again... Morons!
