Imagine it is late summer 2022. During the Corona pandemic, Lufthansa only survived the biggest crisis in its history with a lot of state aid, is now heavily indebted and still flies around with a partly outdated fleet and really old seats . The passengers have been on the road again for a few months because they were more or less not allowed to fly for two years. But you are already getting really annoyed by the chaos that has recently reigned in air traffic: long queues, lost luggage, canceled flights, delays. In this situation, the pilots have announced a one-day strike for Friday, which will again affect tens of thousands. OK, so why now?
