Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France
How exactly do you kill a flight attendance while seated with your barehands within the time that is required to turn a doorknob? if you are trained in martial arts, this takes 0.5 to 2 seconds: hit in the troath, break neck. Basic procedure for anybody who has done something in that field. Tricks:...

Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France
For info, in Air France, you fail once ...you are out...Forever That is the easy way. Somebody can be temporarely sick and heal afterwards. The result of such a drastic one sided managment is that employees will hide their problems. Exactly what happened here. Btw: managers, especially French ones,...

Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France
Press conference by German Wings: looking and listening, I heard that the pilot had been declared physically 100 % OK. By my profession and occupations and experiences, this is a kind of language that is disliked and immediately recognised as avoiding the problem. I hate it when people make firm sta...

Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France
Relying on the actual revelations, assuming that this co pilot has done it deliberately, it opens the door ( sorry for that ) for the pilotless airplanes . This momentum where the customer and user have doubts about the human factor could be used to push ahead with this concept. Odd idea: even with ...

Re: Germanwings A320 crash in France
A Mirage 2000 was dispatched because there was no more contact, and the fighter reached the area before the crash. It resembles a lot like the Helios crash. Must be dreadful for the figher pilot as well, witnessing such a disaster. Could be, but there is no official confimation about this encounter...

Re: Possible route Seoul - Brussels by Asiana ?
hè hè, some weeks ago I posted something about destinations for SN, and I named Korea.
If Asiana would come to Brussels, I will send a message to the SN top, asking for a well paid consultancy fee.

B-52 from dessert back on duty
Because an active B-52 got damaged, a stored B-52 got reactivated.
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/02/21/us/ar ... index.html
If the Russians keep their Bears active, the USA keeps their B-52 in the air as well.

Re: EasyJet calls for new rules
Ouch, lower fuel cost means that some airlines will use it as a marketing tool. Very "sad" for the airlines who have used the fuel charge as a way to pump up the revenue. So the wizz kids need to find a black sheep ( "The Very Bad Airport Managment, aka old boys network" ) to put...

Re: Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is missing
And the press doesn't ask the right questions: if they say that they will find the wreckage before May ( 2015 ? ) , I would ask them where that assumption is based upon. Why not before April? Secondly: I would ask if there would be any consequences if that statement would turn out to be crap. So, if...

Re: Minimum connecting times at BRU
@ STIJ:
a bit off topic, but did you not post in the past once that you got out of the airport in 10 minutes ? OK, that is not a connection, but still shows how fast deboarding/border control / customs can work.
