I know a few pilots who I’d consider to be personal friends, and except for one, they all get their roster one month in advance. The one that’s an exception is due to the nature of the company he flies for, a (subcharter) cargo operator. I don’t consider it a secret that I’ve been a cabin crew membe...

Tell that to people who recently moved to other ANSPs. Skyguide, LVNL, Eurocontrol, NATS, to name a few. None of those who left is even marginally interested in returning. Why do you think that is? Sure, we’re the odd one out, but not on the positive side of the scale these days. By the end of this ...

The question is rather whether the Embraer, E1 or E2, would be able to make it out of EBAW for a 5 hour flight whilst being commercially viable.
That’s something only people with flight planning software and a look at the yields can decipher.

In my eyes, one doesn’t rule out the other.
The A321 could be considered part of the fleet as well, but it’s still a contracted aircraft. The same could be true for a hypothetical FA7X.

As from July 1st, if everything went according to plan.
It’s been a while since I’ve visited that side of the airport.

As far as I can tell, the B77W is hardly ever used by UAL at Brussels. Most of the time, I’d say over 99% of flights, is performed by the B772 whenever a B777 is used.

Probably just the way the photos were stitched, and a bit of luck/coincidence. More often than not, photos from multiple passes are used for adjacent images. If things work out just right, this could be the result you’ll get. I don’t really see the benefit of actively removing aircraft from the imag...

CH-10 has been donated to the Fire Department at Brussels Airport, it now sits outside Fire Station West, South of OUT1. No clue about the other “missing” tail(s).

The Avro would be nicer in the 5-across layout. Flying on a 6-across Avro doesn't really seem like a great ride.
Then again, these are quite short flights, I don't think it matters that much to most people.

Which only reinforces my point that “MAX” is a commercial name, and not a technical name. Hence the term “MAX” being in the press release, and not in the technical documentation such as the Type Certificate Data Sheet. (Except when used as a referral name.)

Except Boeing calls it the 737-8-200 as well, as per the table on their website and the Type Certificate Data Sheet. “MAX” is nothing more than a marketing name, it’s not part of the ‘technical’ name used for the aircraft. As such, Ryanair isn’t strictly lying, their aircraft are indeed 737-8200 or,...

More than a few civil ATCOs are ex military. Working conditions, traffic load, salary,... are hardly a secret.

As far as I understand it, the long haul part wouldn't work without the medium haul, since they desperately need the feeder flights coming in from all over Europe in the morning. The catchment area of BRU itself is not big enough to keep the long haul flights viable. It was explained to me like that...

Not a digression from my point of view either, thanks for the info, H.A.!

Heat can only be carried away(quickly) if the environment allows it. I would not at all be surprised if they used light modifiers to focus the light more on the window(s), since anything around it is pretty much wasted light. Perhaps combined with a rather warm day and absolutely no wind (I have no ...

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Lights used in the film industry get excessively hot when used even for short periods of time. The way these shoots are usually done, is with one or multiple lights blasting down on the window from the outside. A little carelessness when positioning the lights can ...

I’d say that’s rather unlikely. They claim they want to have an easy phase-in of the second hand models. The A380s QR uses, are GP powered, whereas BA uses RR engines.

My guess, a very uneducated one, is that those are "placeholders" to be filled in with 737NG or 737MAX when they have a schedule for the return to service of the MAX.
I don't see them operating the E-Jet to TFS, certainly not profitably.

Holiday flights during the night are actually are relatively small minority. Most movements during the nights come from cargo ops, for whom flying their aircraft during the day simply isn’t an option if they want to remain viable. The largest instigator for that trend is actually online-shopping. Pe...

Do you really think those two cases are even remotely comparable? Since fees will be significantly lower compared to the average now if an airline uses less noisy aircraft, I’d give the airport the benefit of the doubt in this case. Why would they be the boogeyman? They have nothing to gain from bul...
