Re: VTM Telefacts 24th Sept: "Ryanair's tricks"

Do agree with Sean on the fact that a correct(ly as possible) manifest is something to respect if you run a passenger airline. Will never forget after the crash of a Turkish in Schiphol some years ago it took several days before the company was able to release a correct passengers manifest, or at th...

Also, yesterday several of your posts were deleted due to total off-topic, don't expect me to take you serious as indicator for being off-topic myself. The labour movement was co-founded on prot...

Re: EC commissioner Almunia wants to end subsidies

when they keep falling off year after year after year. If RYR would come into trouble, do they also need to be kept into the saddle?
How about realistic ticket prices to compensate for losing free taxpayers money, year after year after year? ;)

Re: Armed robbery at Brussels Airport

'De Beers' used to do LHR-ANR flights with their own aircraft and crew. Crew were all ex-RAF pilots with perfect records. Again, with this kind of loads, you have to think of every possible scenario. Don't know if they still do these flights.. Found a DeBeers cap emblem on a militaria some time ago....

Re: Armed robbery at Brussels Airport

The extremely accurate execution from the robbery also suggests that the men knew that this transport was worth it and that they exactly knew how to execute it. So it's obvious that they had an excellent inside leak: someone within Swiss, Brussels Airport or Brinks. Or the handler, or maybe somebod...
