Just a guess... but... 22/3...?

No need to shout RTM, the reason why this is not off topic is because you cannot just slap on a few extra cm's with a better meal and champagne (one way) and call it Y+. I think that that is not what passengers who pay for the premium would expect. I mean, yes the price is quite low, so some people...

Ryanair for example just gave 4cm extra on all of its new configured aircraft by putting in new seats. It doesnt warrant it calling it Y+. I think the product is being called premium without it being really premium. What have they got to do with this??? Keep that sick discussion out of a SN thread ...

You are gonna keep repeating that mantra? :D I do work for the another airline but it has no direct competition with SN whatsoever :) WIth 8 cm and a double recline you gain absolutely nothing and forget about watching a movie during the flight then :) great to have a better headphone if you have t...

SSJ will start commercial flights today

Seems to me that it is used to cover for the delayed delivery of SNH...
Remember, that one was supposed to be the Trident plane, so should have been flying for several months allready...

I'm quite sure the one in front is an 85...

330/350 have a common type rating btw, your welcome :) Only for flight crew... Maintenance is a completely other story... Not even a simple typerating is sufficient, but additional training into new construction technology is required for certifying staff. Not a bridge that can't be crossed, but no...

The first flight was the 5th... If I read the posts correctly, it returned to gate the 6th...

Lets just say that the ferry flight was also a good oppertunity to perform the test/acceptance flight. And as a result, it indeed came in with RAT deployed.

Also, while in maintenance, the aircraft are extensively evaluated by SN inspectors. Both technically, but also the records and history. Any descrapency will have to be dealt with. Possibly prolonging downtime. discussions at the side are who is to pay for these issues. Generally aircraft coming fro...

Pfff... My guess is that negociations were ongoing, and probably going well between LH and SN to go for the complete take-over. It's not like LH can just say, ok, now we want the rest, here is the money, give us all you've got... That may have been possible when SN was losing €80m, but no more. SN ...

Meanwhile...

OO-DWF made its last trip in SN service last saturday. A return to Marsille.

I am going to stop responding on this thread... Lets agree to disagree... I condemn everybody abusing the 22/3 attacks to their advantage, being the police unions, ATC management and the controllers. My personal opinion still is that it was an organised action, and so far I have no reason to believe...

Also I've heard that 60+% of the newly unfit atco's were members of the BGATC, that represents ~25% of all atco's. You might be able to deny or confirm this. But, if true, a bit too coincidental no? You should check the numbers of affiliates, not believing what medias tell you... All the ATCOs repo...

Or maybe the scenario of the unfit for duty action was only verbally briefed, so no paper trace (= evidence) was left behind. The "reminder" in the letter was simply the trigger to execute the plan...

Yet they coped with it up to now. Given the present circumstances, they should cope with it till at least after the summer peak. Remember the extra effort?

Sad thing is, I would have been on your side, but this hijack at this time, I can not support... no way, no how...

ATCOs are amongst the very people that worked hard to allow flights to operate. They had to find solutions when BRU closed just before the arrival peak of the morning, with already weaknesses in the staffing. Some came back from holidays to provide ATC, some worked an insane number of days/nights w...

Some here don't want to hear anything else than their opinion (and it's not only related to ATC) so I won't enter the debate here, just state some facts. What you don't realize, is that there is simply not enough ATCOs, that's a fact. That lack was compensated for years by ATCOs making efforts to k...
