Re: Security lacks minimum hygiene

funny enough... as crew we too are scrutinised this way and I refuse to take of my shoes.
For sure if there are no facilities to make sure my socks go unharmed.
So it take 1 minute more, I prefer that over satisfying the Security personell's thirst for power!

FLyA330 has it all right: basic IFR skills!

Re: The future of Brussels Airlines with Lufthansa

Re: Aviapartner strike @ Brussels Airport (and Flightcare too)

Never said it was my choice to set the price!!!!!
Never said i agree with the b.air b.flex-light concept!!!!

You don't get my point, fine, i'll just shut up then...
Have to say though you're point of views are noted, you have some very valid point, but it's not necessarily something I agree with.

Re: Aviapartner strike @ Brussels Airport (and Flightcare too)

about my post with the 500€ ... don't have it, don't go. My point was maybe missed by some. What I wanted to stress, is not that companies like RYR are needing these people.

Re: Aviapartner strike

Do you make all your decision based on your personal emotions? I'm talking about plain facts, management induce a safety compromising working environment and are not willing to accept the fact that people are more and more starting to value their own life.
