Helga could be very clever about this.
Obviously spinning it as part of the “climate emergency” to save all those carbons for those uplifted food and bevs.
But more seriously. She could dump LSG and switch to a BOB provider with C given a choice of the menu. It’s ciao bellE to all those striking workers and an own goal for her enhancements.
I wonder if BOB would actually be an enhancement in terms of C catering, particularly for shorter routes? With sufficient stocks of course (but don’t forget the climate emergency for wasted carbons).

BoB would be preferable for J pax atm, since it involves cash, they would be trying to feed pax, instead of doing Nada...

It seems they are offering you 100€ cash transfer for a dinner when you complain. Giving the contract to a third party seems to be a thing at European outstations now. But they don't know which flights are being sabotaged in advance so it's hard to organise ad hoc.
Last Friday they seem to have had a meeting. If it went bad they will sabotage longhaul starting Monday.

HEL-FRA yesterday. FRA-ZRH today. On both flights only a cherry tart and water. Hopefully I can get 100eur from both. This happened a few weeks ago with LX but they actually proactively reached out and gave a 100CHF restaurant voucher, no need to file a complaint.

That LH think making an excuse is all they need to do is shameful
