Embraer Regional Jets (not E-jets) will always feel cramped, regardless of the airline. Unless you really want a window seat, I would recommend the isle seat on the right, as it gives the most room.

I think the main aircraft they'd want to replace are the 737 classics and the aging chickens. I also think the Embraer E-jets will be likely to replace the Avros. Although Sukhoi jets may be nice, I don't think we'll see them in the SN fleet. The 737s, I don't know, maybe replaced with 73Gs or A320 ...

I'd hate to see that. VLM has a great branding and reputation, so buying stakes or a codesharing contract would be a better plan then wholly-integrating the airline, I think.

I go to school very close to that place (Scheppersinstituut). I wonder if they'll do good business though. Maybe if they has scale models of the tower? I really don't see very many people (except businessmen) spend the night there. 90% of the people staying in the Novotel are businessmen.

Wow, they're actually being honest! :o

I agree with Earthman on that it's strange that they don't allow you to bring your own food. I can understand WHY they would do that, but it still sounds like a rude thing to do.

First of all, you can't expect a 757 to leave it's outline in the building like in the cartoons. After diving it probably reached very hight speeds, and broke completely apart upon impact. The high speed also confirms the high pitched sound. The size thing may jest be that people didn't get a good l...

nterstingly they havent adopted any 'nicknames titles' as they have done with their 747s .e.g. 'mega-top' ... maybe they will come later. Haven't they removed the names such as mega top etc.. on their planes lately ? I thought so.. Chris[/quote] True: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1205905/M/ T...
