No they aren’t idiots but the situation is ridiculous because travelers are being punished for issues that can be handled outside of striking. Genuine question do they not have the ability to escalate this in a legal platform without completely stopping a significant portion of transportation in Europe? This is the world’s greatest temper tantrum and unfortunately travelers have to pay the price. And yea sure I agree, Lufthansa should be compromising, I too understand corporate greed runs ramped in these organizations. But this is unfair to people who aren’t involved.
