Re: Strikes affecting Belgian airports in 2021

Nothing formal here, no accusation. This is called editorial slant. It's your choice and I respect it.
Just an ascertainment I seem to share with other people by the way.

Appart from that, AV24 is doing a great job. I know it isn't always easy, certainly in narrow minded Belgium.

Re: Strikes affecting Belgian airports in 2021

Everybody is most welcome to join this forum and discuss. Aviation24.be has written not less than 3 articles on the strike. (cfr. 15-16-17 December) plus up-to-date images of the situation at the airport on Monday morning. For your information, Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws didn't dedicate a...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

There were more than 200 seats available on UA and LH from MUC to either JFK or EWR (3 flights) this Saturday.

Once more, I repeat, a bunch of AMATEURS. And I stick to it (the "bollekes" episode of the rebranding being another proof).

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

The latest press release of SN regarding S22 offer is much blablabla about the usual seasonal market destinations (ex-TC Belgium) but it indicates that YUL route has been dumped… :| :?: :roll:

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Yep. I'm afraid crew1990 is right; those who have experience elsewhere do not complain at all. EDIT; that doesn't mean this should be the new standard... IMHO. Just saying. Strange then, because ex-TUI and ex-TCB crews are the spearheads of this current offensive. FT/DT is hard at TUI, but TUI has ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Not everywhere. In Belgium, for sure. But you can't blame them for their "fight" against poor conditions. I wouldn't be happy to see my kids working under unstable freelance conditions for a pay to fly low-cost carrier. Glad for you if you're happy with that. Just a small edit to add some...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Yep indeed that true, a document had to be sent to the hotels and it haven't been done. When cabin crew landed there were no booking indeed, but as hotel are not full at the moment the only problem was some extra stress at arrival but don't worry the crew got rooms in the hotel. However instead of ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

If earning around 2700-3000€ a month is being a "slave" I guess we do not have the same definition. Indeed we do have some crewing issues caused mainly with the vaccination as we have 3 days "off" after each dose and it makes some last minut trouble. Do you think we are the only...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

Things go again the very wrong way at Brussels Airlines, at least for the cabin crew community (cockpit is soon to follow). We are very close to witness a notice of strike before the end of summer. A lot of complaints that reflect the deep unprofessionalism and amateurish management of SN. No transp...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021

They are doing OK on African flights. Around 170-200 pax per rotation, sometimes full flights + good cargo loads.
They can be grateful to their African ops, because forward bookings are terrible on European side, even for this summer.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Situation is again very critical at SN, just the day after they announced heavy losses (233M €) for the first nine months of the year.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Situation is seriously worsening at SN. With such a financial slope, they won’t make it until the end of August. And this comes from a very good and highly ranked source inside SN. The “fake bookings” aren’t a long term treasury solution and they even play with fire in keeping it on that way. Many B...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

I'm not flying anymore at the moment as i'm studying, but when I was flying full time on the long haul as a cabin crew, I was reaching almost each month 3000 euros. I really would like to know what is you definition of "poor wages and working condition" in your humble opinion. I flown for...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Imho, CS's plan B (which could actually be his plan A) is to let go bust both LH ans SN (and OS ?) and replace LH's and SN's intra-European flights by EW. Now, what about the intercontinental flights ? New collective agreement, inferior remuneration and working conditions. I doubt trade unions woul...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Regarding what was written in La Libre and other press articles: - SN needs A330s. The version they used right now is an HGW version of the A330-300 and thus ideal for cargo. Cargo is an extremely important revenue source for SN. Both for AFI and NA. The A321LR thing is pure BS as far as SN is conce...
