. 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 ...

: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....

Which only reinforces my point that “MAX” is a commercial name, and not a technical name... So they certainly have to use "737 MAX 8" in commercial communication to the public.

TUI fly Belgium flight TB2031 from Brussels to Boa Vista (Boeing 737-800 reg. OO-JAQ) diverted to Tenerife South around 09:15LT ... to be refuelled. Wrong calculation? Unexpected headwinds? With too much headwind, sometimes the 737NG can't reach Boa Vista with full passenger load unfortunately. Pas...

Dropping off passengers that were supposed to fly AMS-TFS yesterday but flight got cancelled

Like I wrote already a few times: it's sad that so many posts here about Brussels Airlines and/or Lufthansa and/or Eurowings and/or Carsten Spohr are negative and/or unfriendly and/or hatefull and/or insulting and/or hostile (the one about Christina Foerster's wardrobe is, so far, the ugliest one)....

TUI fly BE to lease a 737-800 of TUI fly NL, PH-TFF, it is being used from Charleroi.

And TUI fly NL is using 2x 737-800 of TUI fly BE, OO-JAH and OO-JBG, from Eindhoven

Not to mention B767 OO-JNL that is based at AMS

Well, your wife is part of the 90% sean1982 is talking about, and you are part of the 10% remaining... :mrgreen: Don't believe the initial post too much. "...

Vueling may move away from an all-Airbus fleet and migrate to the B737 MAX, according to Willie Walsh, CEO of parent IAG. Did Walsh lose some bolts and become nuts? How will his customers react? They're probably cheap to buy now, and will be delivered long after the MAX has proved itself safe :geek...
