Without trump, the jet most probably wouldn’t have been shot down in the first place. He owns those families an apology at the very least. Without Trump, other families would be in mourne now. Probably from Iraqi and relatives from Nato allies. If you believe breibart maybe yes. So what are you say...

(Old news) Trump clearly mentioned that someone from a dangerous neighbourhood (compared to the bronx i suppose) probably made a mistake. Meaning the rocket, if confirmed, is not from "Iran" but from a fool. Like everything trump says, we can assume this is only said to allow the stock market to go...

Ryanair cuts fleet by Zaventem by a quarter: job threats https://www.lalibre.be/economie/entreprises-startup/ryanair-reduit-d-un-quart-sa-flotte-a-zaventem-menaces-sur-l-emploi-5e138dc1d8ad58130d0977e2 Surprising ! Well, not really. They must be suffering from the 737 fiasco as they are reportedly ...

On New Year’s Eve, 4 BA cabin crew members between 20 and 25 years old were involved in a car crash close to the airport perimeter of LHR. 3 of them died and a fourth one is with life threatening injuries in hospital. Fly higher than ever former colleagues :( https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020...

Very nice summary, it seems 2019 was a very good aviation year for you André! Worst flight : MRS-CRL on a Ryanair B738. More than 3 hr delay on departure, when the pilot pushed the engines to the maximum and arrived 2 hr 45 min late at destination, saving the airline 180 x 250 = 45,000 euros in EU2...

Have you flown in the 737-200 or classic? With all respect and sympathy for your obvious annoyance, but what difference would it make whether one has or hasn't ever been seated somewhere back in the tube? That they also at a certajn point were grounded due to a series of crashes related to rudder i...

Another aircraft leased.

ESSAP, to fly to Lanzarote from BRU tomorrow morning!

What is your issue with an airline leasing an aircraft to solve an AOG i wonder?

. When there is bad news to be spread around Brussels Airlines, it features on the home page and in the forum, including your editorials and opinions (biased and even misinformed). When there is a problem at Air Belgium: ssssh, please be quiet, their CEO doesn’t like negative attention. Very hypocr...

ESSAV, ESSAT, OMLEX, OMGEX don't fly more for TUI.

OOJAH is ready to leave the fleet for Miami Air International.

Almost 50 aircraft leased for the whole season. What a mess.

A mess would have been not leasing anything and leaving people stranded

And this is the root cause of the linguistic problems in Belgium. Will any Walloon company translate every communication in Dutch if they have no sites situated in Flanders? I doubt it. But when french speaking people come to work or live in Flanders they want any communication in French. Why? beca...

By the end of this month we’ll have to have provided a list to planning with who will work which night shift in February. The final version of the planning for February will be released the second week of January. Good luck managing you private life! Like every pilot, cabin crew member, dispatcher ...

Brussels Airlines cancels more than 100 flights in October to holiday destinations, thereby also affecting 3500 of its own customers:

Like I thought. This routes are not financially viable without a tour operator buying up x amounts of seats

I think the impact might be quite big. I posed the question last week and got flamed by “passenger” that TCAB wasn’t going to go bankrupt. The only winner in this story will probably be TUI. People look for a recognizable brand they trust when booking a package holiday. A new company doesn’t really ...

What are the repercussions for SN with the near bankruptcy of Thomas Cook?

So what do you suggest if someone refuses to come along? Knock them out first? Sedate them? What he and other passengers think is irrelevant, if a captain decides you’re not going, you’re not going. End of story The captain is allways allowed indeed to decide it's a no-go. But the captain then has ...

There should be other ways to remove somebody from the flight ...

:lol: He means « than », not « then ». Just to be sure... :ugeek: Indeed: stupid typo, I'm so sorry. Reason: I'm surprised that almost no one here reacts to the catastrophic result from Air Belgium, whilst so many people tell us how Brussels Airlines and/or Lufthansa should be run. Maybe Because no...

3 hours in a CRJ-900ER, not the best comfortable way to begin your holidays...

(This one)

Still better than not beginning your holidays at all

Strike at Belgian Rail this Saturday, 27 July. Services to Brussels Airport may be disturbed. Oh, come on! What a stupid thing to do as there is no government. What do they hope to achieve? Annoy people is the only valid answer imho. Tell that to people who can’t get 7 consecutive days off in a yea...

So they certainly have to use "737 MAX 8" in commercial communication to the public. Actually, No They dont, they can even call it a “B7M8” on the website/ticket if they want. They also are not legally obliged to mention any type name on the side of the plane. Simply removing it is also a solution....
