Well this makes a fleet of 16 B737's and A319's. This could be an appropriate number for the higher density routes (where other low-cost airlines operate). And then the Avro/Bae replacement for low density routes.

Il-96 history

I just noticed that this beautiful plane has a strange history: Striking facts (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-96): - Only 20 built airframes. - Aeroflot had ordered tens before Soviet desintegration. - Russian airlines lost confidence after a breaking incident with Poetin's Il-96....

To be honoust, I don't think they will lease 3 medium haul planes to please the pilots. OMG what a crap we have to read in the papers. How many pilots will benefit from this 3 a/c? I read they have a lot of initiatives to attain their pilots, can't wait to hear them... P. Well, it is at least a sig...

You can take the train from the airport to Brussels, and then follow Bruspotter's detailed information.

Note that there are several stations in Brussels!

These 'certain other countries' definitely contain Iran. Don't forget Saudi Arabia is a US ally.

I arrived this sunday from Vienna, and in my opinion the aircraft had leather seats. Though, I am not a leather specialist ;)

In general their catering, now with Italian capuccino and espresso (already available) is very good. Prices are ok (2 euro for Coke can).

You could take a cheap plane to a sunny spot and then protect yourself.

Unresponsible behaviour is the cause, but cheap flights offer the possibility to act unresponsible. Everybody have their own future in their hands!!!

Not a 100% of course :)
But regarding the shape of the fuselage and the winglets, I should think so!

And the Saudi Arabian is not a 400-series, probably a 300.

British Airways hit with record fine for price-fixing

English: http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/id ... 1120070801

Dutch: http://www.standaard.be/Artikel/Detail. ... anaalid=18

The airline 'blowing the whistle' doesn't get punished; strange system. This is probably effective to trace the price-fixing.
