Hold on guys!!! You talk about regular jobs. Flight attendant is not a "normal job". Eating a biscuit, driking a coke in a plane is not stealing as long as it not taken from the pax and as long as it's not kept after the flight. For me a flight attendant is to be considered as a cook in a ...

Brakes fans are optionals on some A/C's like the A320, and studies needs to be done to see whether it is necessary to have them or not, the brake fans have a weight and a tag price, they are most of the time used on high elevation airports with high AOT,short runways and really needed particularly ...

At MST with B747/200 brakes sometimes run hot, due the short runway lenght. But this is mainly the problem, when A/C has a late landing (so overruns ideal landingspot). Also due to the runway has a "small bump" in it, the runway for a pilot seems shorter (since he can not see the end) the...

Dear Haflinger, Let's focus on the discussion, we are talking about airports,not about Opel or whatsoever. In some cases I do agree, but on this I don't...and I would like to ask you just 2 questions: * Can you find me ONE other European cargo-airport where the investment is abou half of the costs ...

Dear Jan, I will not discuss how much the military are charching the civilians, as I don't even know the amount at all, but as you launched the idea: have you got an idea how much the government is charging the civilians to "subsidies" LGG airport for example (Or CRL?) ? Ever seen how man...

This is almost like a poll... anyway if you feel like it post which aircraft is the best in each of the following departments: Hi, You can hardly compare these aircrafts, they are designed for different missions, different purposes. Anyway... looks: Very subjective, but for me, it's the concorde. c...

They have gone far beyond safety margins. This must be forbidden. The JAA should do something about this incident, people could have died!! Notice the wingtip missing the ground in the left turn after the low-pass... Even though the pilots had a visual estimation of distances, there might have been...

Charleroi should have invested much earlier into a longer runawy to accomodate cargo-flights as well as long-range flights from Asian carriers. The Wallon Government needs a kick i their buts for not having appointed a person who really understands the up's and down's of international airline-busin...

The whole region (including CRL offcourse is financed with Flemish and Brussels money. But this statement will probably lead to a off-topic remark... :!: The subsidies to ryannair are comming from the Walloon region. People from the Flanders and Brussels cannot complain this time :d Concerning the ...

I confirm OO-THA and OO-THB will be flying for TNT.

OO-THC and THD(if any) will be part of the deal with Emirates!!!

Lot of jealousy!!! (LX and Atlantis) I can see many reasons for a high salary; -expensive training ( rarely paid by parents), -risk (not crash), but the risk of loosing your medical (yes it happens!!!) -time away -Respondability -... Atlantis, your work in the office of a well-known freight company,...

Guys, Keep arogancy out of the cockpit and keep your customers happy and informed, T It has nothing to do with arogancy. Employees have the right to say, STOP,when the management is going too far and act in a silly way. Employees should just be screewed and obey? A sudden strike is bad, because, no...

This year we don't add new planes in our fleet. Its posponed till 2007. In 2007 we will add 2 Bae146's, 6 B737's - one extra QC - and the two B747-400. First all ops have to ready before starting this major expantion. @ b-west, The photo in the gallary on the right site is an animation of the B747-...

To those who think that: - A hard landing is not a good landing - Deploying airbrake in short final is dangerous (or forbidden). - Deploying spoilers without contact with the ground is possible. A normal landing is a positive landing, for an airliner. When you have enough runway available, you can s...

Why not Sabena? Such a bloody... is a joke, sabena is a word known name, and it still remind smth to people.

A good move definitely.

You'll still be allowed to fly without RVSM after 2007. RVSM is not necessary for the 146. The ceiling is 31000 with RVSM, without it's 28000, no such a difference. For GNS-X, I guess it's true, but here again, it's not a big work. Concerning the topic, I have serious doubt SN would expand in Africa...

The planes used for the minihub would come from SN (the 6 BAE146) which have to undergo serious equipement upgrades to comply with the stricter naviation performance requirements in the EU as from 2007 (deemed too expensive for these old planes) and would be on surplus anyhow once a full merger bet...

It wouldn't make sense for boeing to design a completely new double decker, as they are stating that the expecteg sales in this segment should be low. If they build a VLA like the A380 they would kill the A380 but their own project at the same time... But concerning the B747 replacement, the jumbo i...

Juste read a topic stating the opposite on a.net:

http://www.airliners.net/discussions/ge ... n/1908857/

Heard about it on TV today...

We'll never now to which extend those cracks are a danger to the safety. Obviously airbus won't ground all the fleet of A33/40.

Hope it's not serious, but they said that the problem is solved during normal maintenance so it shouldn't be that serious.
