Yesterday, December 1st at 1pm EST in Germany (our press release stated), Deutsche Bahn was to reveal to the media webinar details of the $2.2 billon lawsuit against 15 airlines, aimed to recover what they deem to be excessive fuel charges levied against their DB Schenker unit during the price-fixing dust up.
   DB Schenker can only hope that the timing of their legal team in filing legal papers at the right courthouse is better than their corporate communications, as the webinar took place at 1pm Central European Time CET, although the invitation headline clearly indicated 1pm EST.
   We contacted DB and the nice operator admitted that the time given in the announcement was incorrect.
   We cannot help but wonder how long it will be until the last lawyer decides there is nothing left to be gouged out of the airlines?
   Enough already, we say, as billons have been paid out in fines, many lives have been ruined, and everybody has apologized and is not price fixing anymore.
   The thought also occurs that if the carriers get together to try and work out a single payment, will someone decide that constitutes collusion?
   Your move.
