. British Airways, Virgin, EasyJet, Ryanair and others will have to negociate new traffic rights with the EU. And they have to do so as beggers: Europe doens’t need their traffic: they need our traffic. They need our tourists. They need business links for their economy. Airlines like Easyjet and Ry...

I wonder, why wasn't this cabin bag handed back to her right the steps of the plane upon arrival in BRU? I know several other airlines do this at BRU and in this case it would potentially avoid the problem of the very bad luggage handling at BRU which Sean highlighted. Especially hand luggage may b...

Re: Ryanair in 2015

The "BV" pay the same price as the "not BV", why should they be privileged ? Are you sure that Phara did not pay for a business package, allowing her to sit in the front of the aircraft? Yes. Because otherwise her bag would have been on board (one of the advantages of Plus, no b...

So if I understand it correctly, these German pilots are already type-rated on A320, reason why they have been chosen....

Re: Abnormalities in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2015

But is there any notion of "right of way" ? In controlled airspace, the controller decides it all, I should think? There is "captain's discretion" to overrule tower instructions, sure enough, but that will have to be based on safety above all - and will have to be explained, pro...
