Re: Brussels Airlines in 2017

Aircraft flown by newly hired german crews, our own crews are left in the cold :evil: total disrespect from management Do you have enough people fluent in German among the current crew? And anyway, what prevents Belgians (and current crew) to apply for positions in Dusseldorf if they speak German f...

Re: SN to Africa - one cancellation per day

Dear Lefreak, I've had it too with your SN fan boys attitude of going defensive whenever there is a critic about your airline. You said that I'm insulting SN technicians, funnily enough I probably know more of them than you do. Please point me to the insult? Aren't you the one being defensive? Your...

Re: SN to Africa - one cancellation per day

Dear flanker, I have always read your posts with a big grain of salt and several times I've had to bite my teeth not to respond, but now I've had it. I've had it with you insulting my colleagues. As a Brussels airlines pilot, I get into each and every one of our planes and fly them around knowing th...

Re: Public strike on Thursday 22 Dec: what about BRU?

One fact remains, even if the protest if justified: why the hell have innocent passengers without any link to the government have to pay for it?

sometimes you take extra fuel when fuel cost at destination is so high it justifies the extra fuel burn .. this is called tankering. Decision is made on a basis of fuel cost at destination versus extra fuel burn. An initial typerating indeed includes CAT I training. An additional LO-VIS session need...
