BRU-GVA is actually served 7x daily. Your suggestion to reduce the number of flights on this route clearly proves your lack of decent commercial/financial/business information and knowledge (for which I don't blame you, but don't act as a know-it-all if you don't have the necessary info to speak up).

Please enlighten us with a business case to explain your vision.

Again, I'm looking forward to a business case of those profitable routes SN's planning managers apparently never considered our thought of.

Perhaps because carefully prepared studies proved that SN is currently better off with the ARJ?

No offence, but it really looks like you are the missing link in SN's Purchasing department. Ever considered to apply for a job?

Looking at your posts, Flightmate, you obviously assume that "those from the offices" are sleeping on their desk all day, going home with another wage increase they all apparently got. Honestly, if SN is taking its airline business serious (of which I'm convinced they are), be sure that SkyEurope and Easyjet are being monitored VERY closely.

SN certainly isn't putting 150-seaters on destinations without demand and ARJs on routes where "the flights are always full" on purpose. I assume it's much more profitable for SN to put a B734 with 164 seats on a route where you can attract 110 high yielding passengers, than putting an ARJ-100 on a route where you can even fill your plane with 200 seats but at very very low prices.
@MarkyUK: excellent posting, thanks a lot!
