Lufthansa Strike

[Minuteman]

I understand that flight crews with Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, and Eurowings went on strike earlier this week.

Then the strike was extended another few day (Euro labor strikes are different than in the US).

Now I see news that Lifthansa Cityline is permanently ceasing operations on Saturday(!)

Anyone have more details about what's going on with our German friends? Please hold the pith for industry discussion for a moment.
