Why doesn’t the government cut taxes for pilots and airlines? That way we could afford to pay the going rate and attract and keep pilots. An added advantage to this would be getting and retaining a good level of experience and therefore safety instead of ending up with an airline full of kids with 2...

There is only one problem with B Air, shortage of managers. If only we had a few more. Maybe some of the plane spotters here could fill in for a while? The bad news is that all the parking spaces have been taken already and you will need to park your company car about 1.5 Km away with the crew. Plen...

20th - 26 flights canceled
21st - 12 flights canceled.

Don't know about today but lots very late.

Yes of course there are two sides to the story, I don't deny that !! I suggest the following in order to have a constructive discussion.

Right now we’re scheduled for a 45 minute turn around at outstations. In that time we have to deplane pax, re-fuel, clean, run a complete security scan of the cabin, eat and draw breath before boarding the next load of pax. That’s a busy 45 minutes. In Berlin we are scheduled for a 25 minute turn ar...
