I think SFN will not be ready soon... the landing gear which arrived in Douala was the wrong one... So they had to wait for the good piece. :roll: There is also a special team from Airbus over there. The work which has to be done is normally only allowed in a hangar and they don't have one, so they ...

I think BruAir has an identity problem. They fly B.Light and B.Flex on most European flights but some of them are still Eco and Business. Then they do summer charters with the A330 and a wet lease for Hewa Bora. They want to be one company but still flying with 2 AOC's. They fly low-cost but with a ...

At least 5 pilots will go to NetJets in the near future and I know about 2 who are accepted by Air France and waiting for a date to begin. All very experienced Capt's and FO's. I really don't know what will happen in the future with Bru Air. I have the impression that the run (fly) away is accelerat...

Fly4Hours And air-taxis?That's the new trend in the US... A Florida based air-taxi company has 500 Eclipse VLJ's on order. All these air-taxis have decided to fly with a 2 crew cockpit for the insurance and for the safety feeling of the pax. Back to the topic. It's true that many ab-initio's are joi...

Fly4Hours That's why more and more light jets are getting authorised for a one-crew operation. The light jets authorised for single-pilot operation are specially build for this and very easy to operate and flown by the pilot/owner and never commercially. But in my opinion it is crazy to fly single p...

I'm sure that the high speed train is good (if not better) alternative for the plane on short distances (flight - time of less than 2 hours) VLM did the test not long ago and they were faster than the Eurostar to the center of London. The test persons started from different places in Belgium and ha...

Also my opinion. This is already going on for more than 2 years now and they are still doing nothing. The management of Bru.Air who were angry at the pilots leaving, telling them that it was stupid to leave the company, left Bru.Air too and are now working for a new cargo company... :shock: Let's ho...

I don't think the problem is shortage in FO's but the Captains and experienced FO's are leaving. In my opinion the biggest problem is that Bru.Air, in the near future, will only have FO's with less experience and without the hours to get an upgrade. Since the unions won't accept direct entry Captain...

Pilot shortage at Brussels Airlines ?
They told me that, last week, Bru.Air cancelled 4 flights due to crew shortage. Too many pilots are leaving the company and they have problems to fill up the empty places. Around 50 left the company in a very short period.
Anyone with more news about this? What is happening over there??

when I made almost the same remark some years ago, I was attacked for being not constructive, generalising, racist , what so ever. It's very easy to say that someone is a racist. My comment has nothing to do with racism, it's about the reality. People who know Africa (I'm not talking about tourists...

This will be a very tough job in a continent where, in some countries, you can buy your pilot licence/type rating and where an AOC can be bought by just paying some corrupt people at the Ministery of Transport. In Africa you can buy everything when you have money. The first thing they have to do is ...
