Re: Transavia's Mile High Club

Does Transavia know the names of the pilots who skipped duties, or did the names remain undisclosed to Transavia?

Re: Armed robbery at Brussels Airport

The robbers complain that they had hoped to get money. If they had, they would never have been caught, for they were caught attempting to sell diamonds.

Re: Bombardier CSeries news

Swiss is NOT the launch customer of CSeries - the launch customer is still secret.

However, Swiss want to follow suit in buying CS300 Extra Crowded:

He already has a home in Brussels.

Do you feel he has "strong links" to Belgium?
Which planes does he own and fly?

Re: New Year's Eve dinner on the Concorde

Just 40? Too few. Concorde always had 100 seats. Even on the Barbados flights, 80 were for sale. Concorde was designed for midgets, preferrably midgets without any hand luggage. There were surprisingly few complaints about the poor headroom and tiny seats because the overpaid employees whose tickets...

Does the .be domain exist so long?

Re: Last election of Belgium

You refer to a splendid Flemish Republic. I rather would have a kind of heriditary leadership instead of a presidency. :?: It saves a lot on election costs. Sadly enough, the title of Count of Flanders is given to the Belgian prince. I have my doubts about the acceptability of prince Filip as Count...
