A sense of humour is part of our belgian touch.
And too much alcohol too i'm afraid.
Although we have nothing to teach, lets say, the brits.
Anyway, you can agree or disagree but the question remains : what if you had 15 per day ?

As he said above: 15 idiots!
Repeat: you can't blame stupid people thay they behave stupid. Onze Lieve Heer heeft er van elke soort gemaakt. The vaste majority of people don't drink alcohol before noon, and if so, only when having lunch. But for a small minority of people, it is indeed not abnormal to drink beer at 07h00, when your day started already a few hours earlier.luchtzak wrote: ↑03 Sep 2017, 19:51I disagree:Passenger wrote: ↑03 Sep 2017, 19:20 I don't defend that stupid passenger at all, but maybe airlines and airports can tell their staff that terrorists never publicly announce their plans? The press reports about this incident mention a group of 9 Belgian men (the press reported "native Walloons"), quite noisy and some of them above the alcohol limit to drive a car (though it was a.m. indeed). So when a 51 year old member of such a tourist group tells something childish like "I have something in my pants that eventually could explode", staff shouldn't pull the trigger that fast.
- first of all it's very unusual that you board a plane while being drunk.
- second of all: it's very unusual that you board a plane while being drunk ... at 7:00 am in the morning!
- third: safety and security is a prime aspect in aviation, you simply don't laugh with it.
- fourth: I could agree that you are in a good mood before your holiday but traveling in a group doesn't mean that you are allowed to say or do more than other passengers on the flight.
A small minority? Look at the Leffe café in the airport how many people order a Leffe at 06:00 in the morning!
Compared to the total amount of pax leaving in the morning... a small minority indeed...

According to La Libre Belgique, the true reason why Ryanair cancelled the flights was the lack of captains, not the weather. By invoking weather conditions, Ryanair would escape the payment of EU261 compensations. With the lack of crew they have to pay those penalties.Passenger wrote: ↑11 Sep 2017, 13:25 Ryanair had to cancel flights because of bad weather, but gives no assistance at all to the stranded passengers:

A spokesman of Ryanair denied that the cancellations are due to the lack of captains and insisted that only the weather conditions in Italy are responsible for the cancellations. Of course 1000 passengers with a compensation of 250 or 400 euros are a solid argument to defend this point of view.sn26567 wrote: ↑12 Sep 2017, 10:12According to La Libre Belgique, the true reason why Ryanair cancelled the flights was the lack of captains, not the weather.
