Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news

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. Actually, No They dont, they can even call it a “B7M8” on the website/ticket if they want. They also are not leg...

Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2019

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...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019

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)....

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news

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...

Re: Safety question: always passengers at the emergency exit or not???

Hi, I thought that exit doors on the wings always should be manned(womanned ;) ) during a flight. Flew with SAS this week the 12 seats were empty. Last year with Ryanair this was also the case but the cabin crew asked some people to move to the exit seats. Ryanair has it as a company policy, but it...

What Geert Noels describes, is the unconvenienth truth for all aviation professionals involved with the 737 MAX, including some av24.be-members.

Re: Social actions at air traffic control service skeyes (Belgium) - possible air traffic disruptions

Airlines and passengers will get the service they pay for when there is the correct and responsible amount of staff for the maximum traffic they would like to have flying around. It's that simple. This is what I talked about last time When I said atco’s have lost touch with reality. Imagine you ord...

That is indeed the case. It is not important what color is on the plane. But there is a real concern in this: 1) EW is not doing good, but in meantime they swallowed SN into them.

Good luck to the SN staff.
Does anyone know if Tolipanebas is still flying for SN? I would like to stick it to him.
Ask passenger, he knows him very well I heard.

Sad news, but predictable, at least for the realists (otherwise known as “bashers”)
