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...

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. Let's analyse the situation in a more rational and less emotional way. These are the things a crew needs to do turing a turn around according to crew memebrs who ...

I’m sorry but that’s absolute nonsense. Just because the crew is sat down does not mean that they are resting. Taxi, take off and landing are critical phases of flight and it is at these times when cabin crew must be at their most alert. They must be constantly scanning the cabin for passengers doin...

website-info, there are two points there, not either/or: 1. More work/stress for the crew ie. A deterioration of conditions of service without monetary compensation AND (more importantly as clearly stated before) 2. Reduced rest / increased stress on crew members which directly equates to a reductio...

BA Tech The crews of SNBA and Virgin Express have between them many thousands of hours of hard earned experience. They have done literally millions of turn arounds in the course of their careers.

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...
