In deze discussie wordt nog één belangrijk punt vergeten. Het gaat niet alleen om het voortbestaan van het stakingsrecht, of om de manier waarop dergelijke actie al dan niet mag georganiseerd of aangekondigd worden. Deze rechtzaak bedreigd ook de stakers op een heel persoonlijke en private manier: d...

Wouldn't it affect the aerodynamic features of the aircraft of train? And I believe that there is a law in physics that states that this would only be possible in a prefect isolated system with no energy loss. I think that the amount of energy produced by the 'generator' can never be enough to keep ...

JOVAN, u bent een eersteklas z**kz*k. Een korte doch leerrijke zoektocht doorheen uw posts geeft veel gekanker, geklaag en afbrekerij maar nergens ook maar één zin die zou kunnen wijzen op het aanbrengen van een nieuw idee of oplossing. Want eerst het personeel uitpersen en daarna de klanten, wijst ...

As often told in The X-Files: Trust no one... But in my experience, stealing stuff out of people's luggage is not common practice in BRU. And off course anyone who is caught stealing property from passengers, airlines or the airport is directly fired... Consider the possiblity that the case fell of ...

Er is in elk geval één vaststaand feit: iedereen (toch bijna) wil tegelijkertijd op vakantie gaan. Is dat zo? Zo vaststaand is dat niet, dat wordt wel zo georganizeerd. Dat is niet overal zo... Zoals solden worden georganizeerd, worden bouwverlof georganizeerd. Niet voor niks dat bij ons een boterh...

En wat pas echt vervelend is, gedurende de zomermaanden, zijn de lange wachtrijen aan de security zowel voor de A als B concourse . (een fast track voor C-class , zoals op LHR, is echt geen overbodige luxe) Bestaat al. En SN30952, waarom zo zeuren over lange wachtrijen? Als iedereen gelijktijdig op...

And more are going to leave with Jet Airways' increasing routes to/from BRU There is alledgedly an agreement between those two (part of their codeshare agreement apparantly) that the latter will not accept pilots coming from SN, which wouldn't be so irrational. I heard this once, but I don't know i...

A vehicle from Flightcare hit the fueltruck during the fueling process. The connection valve between the truck and the fuel pit broke and about 3000 litres of fuel (that's what they told me) sprayed on the asphalt like a real expensive and dangerous fountain :) I also heard there were no injuries or...

The worst thing that could happen to Vindevoghel, is that she has to start working at Flightcare next Monday. Because she's then loosing the indemnity of more then 100.000 euro. Absolutely true, the best thing that can happen to her is sitting at home, being paid by Flightcare and meanwhile working...

Well, I guess my flight in 1999 to Heathrow with ZERO ground crew working was just a dream, then. Sorry, but if there really was zero crew, you wouldn't have departed. There was maybe no visible crew, but you need at least a ramp supervisor and a push-back (the latter is needed because almost no ai...

If Brussels Airlines goes for the Sukhoi, passengers do have the choice because they see the time table before they book and pay.

Whatever it was, the fire brigade was present in full force. Must be a reassuring feeling for those in the heat of it. Good work guys. Cheers.
