Re: Cruise speed vs top of descent
The trick is not to allow pilots to choose their speed :lol: WHAAhahahaha! :lol: Could a modern aircraft fly a track, just as easily? I cannot speak about modern planes, but from a programmer's point of view it would be a lot easier. I have over and again insisted that, in the 21st century, magneti...

Re: 2019 Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL/EBCI) latest news
In brief: local government appoints new "president" (CEO?) at airport management company; said person has a past in one trade union but many (most?) people working at the airport belong to another union. His linguistical capacities are also questioned: he should have good Italian and French, but no ...

Re: Trivia 2019 (miscellaneous news)
Thanks for info, @Rwandair. Particularly surprising to me to see South African Airways only fifth - surely they lost a lot of traffic, then, recently? Weren't they a major carrier at one time, perhaps even Africa's biggest?

Re: Wizz Air in 2019
Subsidies are not an investment (if I may be excused for "nitpicking" as some call it). They come on the operations side of the balance sheet; investments come on the active/passive pages.
"... plans to spend" might be better wording.

"State" aid? It has been rightly pointed out that Brussels Airport is a private independent commercial operator. At least in theory

Re: Crashes and serious incidents/accidents in 2019
Never ceases to bewilder me how certain countries seem to be inviting disasters like this by allowing housing so nearby, and on the runway axis. Quite common in Africa, but Californians are good at it, too. Accidents waiting to happen, sadly.

The Italian taxpayer is rich but not indefinitely That touches on politics, sadly but unavoidably. In Italy like in certain other countries, there is a marked separation between richer areas, that bring in the majority of tax money (and, hence, have their own ideas about how and where tax money sho...

Indeed. The Pope is on a state visit (not to say "on a trip"
), or there's an earthquake somewhere, or the funghi are late on season, or the prime minister's dog is having a litter... Always an explanation.

Re: 2019 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news
I don't think there's much use in calling people names, either way. "Idiots"? "Ridiculous"? Then again, while keeping things polite, I too have my questions about the additional cost and hassle of two stops so very close by.

What is "aviation"?
This website and forum so frantically claiming to be about "aviation", I have more than once questioned how the "aviation" bit was to be interpreted.

Ha! That's easy to say if you're always two in the cockpitalways crosscheck your actions

Too much cross-checking one's self can lead to nasty damage to the brain, so my AME warned me ....

Re: Trivia 2019 (miscellaneous news)
Mooohahaha! if that was the case, really, the messages can well remain in the "trivia" thread. And of course it is all too cheap too ridicule others' errors, still this poor amateur pilot has well learned the lesson to first "standby" the transponder, then set the new squawk, then "un-standby".
