Guess that Eurowings is to slow in growing, he needs another airline for his pet project...

I hope Norwegian is smart enough to friendly decline unless they are forced to because of financial problems... but if they're able to survive on their own I would hope that would be the case or else pretty soon there will be very few airlines in Europe just as is the case in the USA and its not good for the public!

CS's comments and investment policies are inconsistent.
He has recently denied investments (in new aircraft) for OS ans SN because they don't perform well enough according to the Kaiser.
Now, he is apparently prepared to spend a lot of money to acquire a loss-making airline to help him expand another loss-making airline, instead of giving OS and SN the proper means to become more profitable.
Or is the hidden agenda only to eliminate a competitor ?
