Carsten Spohr

I think probably we put so much pressure on them that they will give us a delivery stream which will be heavily caveated or so restricted because they really don't want to contract for those particular dates.

So as my friend Carsten Spohr said, I'll take them when they come.

As if to say, I'll wait for when they're ready to deliver them to me.

In the meantime, like everybody, we're all scrabbling around trying to meet the demands with the old aircraft.

And, you know, you can't fly them once they run out.

So that's it.

So we have to wait to our friends in GE and Pratt to get this sorted out.

Another frustration.

uh realignment so there is a lot to play for and the government who was at pains to say they were not wishing or intended to sell a majority stake are now indicating their willingness to consider that maybe not for a couple of years but first of all we have to see what happens with the staff element and then if the government is willing to do that and take more cash then the airline will be truly controlled by Lufthansa so A lot to play on that.

And again, on Lufthansa itself, we know it's faced longstanding hardball management workforce relationships under Carsten Spohr as a CEO.

That's within principally German home culture.

It's happened anyway.

And, and this becomes, of course, uh, you know, in- incredibly powerful, uh, as well because, of course, you've got, uh, the entire South American continent.

Uh, and I would say if you're Carsten Spohr, uh, the, the CEO of Lufthansa Group, you're pretty happy, uh, today to have, uh, been successful in this one.

But of course, there's a lot of work to be done.

Uh, you have TAP.

So that's awesome.

Lufthansa Group CEO Karsten Spohr said at a conference this week that mental health screening for pilots is incredibly robust, but added, we have to face the fact that there is no absolute safety and security in this industry.

I want to mention Lufthansa on their IFE.

There's a Lufthansa channel where you can learn about Lufthansa.

Exactly.

It would have been mandatory, you know, like an airport ops security class.

But I'm watching it, and Karcher's spore was very open about the Germanwings incident, how this happened, and we were learning from this.

They also talked about Lufthansa during the war and the Nazis.
