Re: THY is buying LOT?

To put it politely, in my limited experience, Poland is not a country which particularly embraces other ethnicities or cultures, and I can see any attempt by TK to make any serious investment in LOT quickly becoming sidetracked into a cultural/ethnic/religious debate rather than being a simple matt...

Crash of Hewa Bora plane, inappropriate comment

Good news for Korongo? I am very sorry but this is a totally inappropriate comment to make! I would encourage the author to apologize and the website administrators to remove it. It is also concerning that noone else so far seems to have noticed the inapropriateness of said comment. Accidents are t...

Re: Brussels Airlines to start US service in 2012

Any insider info (or speculation) on the destination? My guess is EWR or ORD. JFK seems unlikely as there are three (soon two) carriers on the route and both AA and DL have downgraded from 763 to 752. The Washington market is I think sufficiently covered by the daily UA flight. EWR is a likely as th...

Re: 2011 Liège Airport (LGG) latest news

Hardly blackmail, I would say. They have a quieter fleet now so they're going back to Schiphol which seems far more interesting for them. And even if they decide to stay, the option to move gives them bargaining power. That's plain commercial tactics, not blackmail.

Re: Emergency landing Avro Brussels Airlines 16 april

Dear All, In my view, there are just too many incidents with SN Avros given the small number of aircraft they have in the fleet. The frames, although robust and well-maintained, are getting old and are very complex to operate/maintain. Do we need a serious accident before SN starts thinking about re...

Re: BeOnTop Airlines - Liège Airport

Is it your problem ? Tip of the day: BeOnTop® is now Registrated . You're really asking for it, aren't you? "Registrated" is not an English word. The correct form is "registered". To be quite frank - if you are indeed working for the company you claim to be working for, they are...

Question: Ryanair aircraft and flight/cabin crew scheduling

Dear all, I would be interested in getting a better idea of the way aircraft and flight/cabin crew are dispatched at Ryanair. What would be the typical rotation of an aircraft based in, say, CRL? Does it fly only sectors to and from its base, or is it dispatched across Europe without necessarily eve...

Re: Top 10 dangerous airliners

I see 3 Star alliance members in the list
As far as I see, only 2 of the top 10 are Star Alliance members (Egyptair and Thai). China Airlines isn't a member, Air China is though.

Happy landings,

Question: UA951 BRU-IAD on THU 04 NOV

Dear all,

I am flying BRU-IAD on UA951 on Thursday 04 NOV (tomorrow, at the time of writing).

Am travelling in C class and was wondering what sort of load to expect. The A/C is a 777 so I presume it is still the old C class config.

Any info much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Re: BRU: Schengen Bus Arrivals drop-off at pier A - why?

My guess is that it is to make it easier for transfer passengers who have a (tight) connection out of pier A.
