True all religious symbols must be banned on the work floor. Passengers and clients do not give a toss whether the airline employee is a muslim, catholic, jew or budhist..the service is what counts..shove the cross between the cleaves, get rid of your hijabs and turbans..and flash us a nice colgate ...

BA is right on this one.. she can wear her cross under her clothing..the idea of this symbol is to give peace and tranquility to its bearer..not to demonstrate ones christianity.. i hope they would ban the veil and turban very soon too.

Silly in the sense that the incident is not worth discussing. Let alone on an aviation forum.

Indeed you must check Air France. I flew with them to latin Americe, excellent service, besides Aeromexico is a member of Skyteam..hence Mexico (many destinations in mexico) are very well connected from CDG.

light flex

I think that the product Brussels airlines will offer is brilliant. Let me remind everyone here that those who book business on european flights today do so for one simple reason: FLEXIBILTY (same day return, possibilty of reservation changes etc)not for the perks. In other words when one needs to f...

indeed, but we also remember the bankruptcy, uncopetetiveness, bureaucracy etc linked to that name..i hope the new company would look to the future, rather than the gloomy past just for the sake of an S on the tail..

That's my point, it is stupid for those of us who associate the new company with SABENA..but of course sabena is history would be completely forgotten in some years, hopefully by then the new SN/Vex would have grown...the S symbol could be seen detached from sabena..elegant .. just think of the S an...

The famous S on the tail can remain even if the new name does not refer to an S.... to us it still stands for Sabena but to those who did not know Sabena (in a decade or so many would not even remember or have known Sabena) it is a nice kind of trademark or logo....I hope they will keep the S on the...

Depending where you are based now, MEA can be a brilliant option..they fly daily to most major destinations in M.E. and Europe..They are partners with Flying Blue (Air France-KLM)..I think that you colllect free tickets very quickly, besides they often (once a year at least) offer a 50% discount on ...

I agree that the Belgian authority has a lot to do too...Most important is to generate more traffic to the country.. I fail to understand why this beautiful country fails to attract tourists, apart from the thousands of Dutch, Germans, and French..and the occasional Japanese passing by on their way ...
