Re: Nieuwe verkeersleiders BelgoControl
Mij is tijdens mijn radiocursus (ik ben zweefvliegpiloot) verteld dat beginnende én luchtverkeersleiders die een fout hebben gemaakt inderdaad op Brussels Information worden gezet. Ik heb niet geverifiëerd of dat waar is, maar dat verhaal doet in ieder geval de ronde.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
How is the airflow actually generated on A350 ? Is it comming through the engines like on A330, or is it electrically generated (and consequently much more healthier for passengers and crew) like on the dreamliner? "In 2006, Airbus confirmed development of a full bleed air system on the A350, ...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016
Regarding the bakery: no baker can determine for sure the exact number of rolls he will sell in three months time. He can only say "I hope to sell x rolls by 1st October". Exactly, but the point of making a business plan is showing why you think you can sell the amount you project, make a...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016
Sorry, but I don't buy that. Van Gaever makes the analogy with the baker who has to estimate the number of bread rolls he will sell within three months, but that's simply what a business plan is all about: making realistic yet detailed projections for the future. No bank would ever give him a loan w...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016
Point 5. In addition, don't you guys read the newspaper? Brexit just happened. European stocks are overvalued across the board, even more than in 2007-2008. This is worse than Lehman Brothers in 2008. Remember that we were all making such a fuss about a Grexit? Well guess what, the UK has rightfull...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016
VLM was only operating ANR-LCY on behalf of Cityjet, so what about Cityjet itself?

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016
Not entirely; VLM has been paying their German creditors and their flights from/to FDH have a LF > 60%.

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016
Not perhaps, but only in the case of bankruptcy. Why would an investor as Van Gaever take over the debts if he could start with a clean slate? The staff would also get new contracts, probably with more flexible labour conditions.

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016
Why not? If the new entity can reestablish the ACMI contracts with the partners (Cityjet, Vizion Air), I think a small operation could successfully continue. The current situation seems to be mainly the result of the extremely risky ventures taken by the current management last year.

Re: connection missed
Well, the airline still has to prove it was because of extraordinary circumstances and also there, the ECJ limited what is acceptable as extraordinary circumstance.

Indeed. In 2013 the European Court of Justice ruled that the 3 hour rule also applies to missed connections.

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016
You can find the annual accounts up to 2014 (because that's the last one filed) with the National Bank of Belgium: http://cri.nbb.be/bc9/web/catalog?lang=E (search by name for VLM Airlines).
