Arriving back at BRU last Friday I saw the big Ethiopian Airlines waiting for its next trip. And I was thinking " that is an airline I still have to take "

Re: Which future fighter jet for Belgian Defence?
time to make our own fighter, just as Sweden.
Sweden counts just a bit less inhabitants than Belgium, but succeeds to build its own fighter and to sell it abroad.

I join you with the idea to meet the current king. I would like to ask him what went through his mind when he crashed his Robin ( at that time he was still crown prince )

Re: Alitalia near bankruptcy. Can it be saved?
Meanwhile, Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr sees a need for “significant” restructuring at Alitalia before his airline can make a deal to buy the carrier. It is 25 years ago that my father made a similar analysis after a roller coaster ride with that airline. Restructuring meant in his words " shut...

Re: Turboprop for long distance airliners
I do not think that development will go back to piston engines for long distance aircraft. Not even the diesel engines. Neither do I think that traditional turbo props will be used. Despite the use of tp in the A400. But it is possible that the open rotor engine or propfan will be further develloped...

Which program does this airline use to organise the employee's hours?
Or has this also been subcontracted to India because of cost savings?

Re: Ryanair in 2017
Ryanair insists it also caters to business people. Not sure many will continue with Ryanair under such conditions... This is exactly the reason why several companies in Belgium forbid their staff to fly Ryanair ( and also some other LCC ) + that any hick up to show up at work after a holiday becaus...

Re: Best/Worst food on a plane
worst:
food poisoning with Alitalia.
Best?
I share the 747 upper deck experience with an AF flight between BKK and SGN , including cigar
And I do agree with the BMI panini as a nice surprise on such short flights.
sorry to be so simple: mash & bangers with BA. Yummy.

Re: If I was a billionaire...
He stole the watch of the first stewardess, look at both pictures.
The other stewardess could get of the plane still owning her watch.
I wouldn't want his airplane as well: no Wifi and no cell phone reception; even his fixed phone isn't working looking at his face " Hello? Hello ?"

Hello every one, after being inactive on the forum for quite some time, I blink my eyes about... Alitalia. I am pretty sure that years ago I was a strong fan to close down that "company" as soon as possible. Just to read now that it is still acting as an embarrasment for the aviation world...

No, larger quantities would not have changed the outcome of the war because of the simple fact that Germany had not enough fuel. Interesting is how the Luftwaffe changed the use of their heavy airplanes during the war. They had greater succes with the guided bombs than with their terror carpet bombi...
