Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Repainted with an additional "Lufthansa Group" title at the back of the fuselage (like the repainted OS aircraft) :?: Nah... There was an alteration in the livery that started when the TCQ was introduced. Every A/C (A32F only) (re)painted since has gotten the new livery. Exept of coarse S...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I always thought it was the amount of cycles that was important, not so much the time spent in the air? I am no mechanic, but i expect It is the 'one of both comes first' rule that counts. With short hops it is about the cycles, with long distances it's about the number of hours flown. I can well i...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Regarding when they retire they still needs to be current on maintenance, it's not only required by regulations it's most likely a contractual obligation issued by the lessee of the plane. ;) The first part of this statement is deffinately true. Maintenance will have to be up to date until and incl...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
if I remember correctly, SFX was delivered sooner than originally planned to facilitate the Toronto ops. Due to this, there was not enough time to obtain and install the SN interior. This upgrade was to be done after the summer season. If my info is correct, it will be done in november. It is true t...

Re: Emirates 777-300 crash-landing at DXB
After being off-line for a couple of weeks, I only learned that there has been a crash last weekend. I am happy everybody made it of the aircraft safe in time. Though my thoughts go out to the firefighter family and friends. Sifting through the sense an the non-sense in this topic, I did not read al...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Probably, but with the old galley and lavatory's, that did not meet the SN seatpitch requirement i guess, so it was put to the same standard as the other SN A320's prior to their conversion. The maintananceslot to replace and reconfigure the galley, lav's and seats was now anyway.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
SSS and SSX are about to be deliverd as well as the SNH (finally) Not quite correct... Yes, SSS is on schedule, and should arrive this month. SNH was delayed severely, but is now being converted to 180 pax, and should be delivered as soon as that is completed. Bur SSX was never scheduled to be deli...

Re: Another Boeing 777 engine fire on the runway: 27/06/2016 at Singapore
Normally an engine at idle would not ingest a person during an evacuation Oh yes it will... Especially a big one like this... Not for all exits though, but I would not like to use door 2 if the engine is running... Door 3 and 4, slides might be blown away... But off coarse, if the situation is dire...

Re: Another Boeing 777 engine fire on the runway: 27/06/2016 at Singapore
I agree, most airlines give the cabin crew also a decision right to start aan evacuation depending on what they see out of the window. A full right wing blazing with a possibility of the fuel tanks being breached would not give me one second hesiation to say "sayanora" And rightfully so, ...

Re: Another Boeing 777 engine fire on the runway: 27/06/2016 at Singapore
Worst case scenarion no power is needed for an evac cause Emergency exit lights run on battery power and so do the door actuators on the B777. The report will be interesting indeed :) I was talking about the beacon light. It is on the whole time in the video. So the aircraft IS powered. These thing...

Re: Another Boeing 777 engine fire on the runway: 27/06/2016 at Singapore
I agree that evacuating that plane should have been done, ASAP. But, looking at the video, I kind of understand the cockpit crew for not doing so... Thoug I still think it is wrong. But at the start of the video, the aircraft is still moving. At least the LH engine is still running, and probably the...

Re: Brussels Airlines introduces Economy Plus on longhaul flights
I think if you are not above average height, the standard legroom is quite sufficient. Hence some people do not see the added value of 8 cm. Others are obsessed with getting the cheapest deal, no matter what. That is all fine. I can assure you however that if you are above average heith, and do not ...

Re: Brussels Airlines introduces Economy Plus on longhaul flights
It doesnt matter RTM. Y is Y, a plane is a plane, more legroom is more legroom. I would call it ... Our best economy seats? I stick to the fact that you cannot give a few more cm and more recline and call it Y+. Its the same seat! And 240€ extra for a return flight for 1 glass of champagne, 2 meals...
