Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021
I think that SN is ripe for a sale and that this is what LH will try to do. The crisis is far from over and airlines are getting in deeper and deeper troubles. Suffices to see the SN fares for the coming weeks to see that they' re desperate to sell seats at any price. Summer is over and the appetite...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021
Are they begging for their next round of cash infusion yet? I don't feel much sympathy for SN. When I worked there, I was treated poorly by colleagues and middle management, earned peanuts and was under-appreciated until I dropped my notice and gave them the finger. I felt like I was a civil servant...

Re: Impact of aviation on the Coronavirus crisis
Keeping the middle seat empty except for parties travelling together is a no-brainer and does not result in losing 1/3rd of capacity like airlines fear. I would even dare to propose to make this a paid option (50% surcharge) during online booking. While this crisis lasts this could be mandatory for...

Re: Impact of aviation on the Coronavirus crisis
Thanks for bringing that post to our attention. Of course it is not acceptable to call people monkeys, even if it is toned down as "gentlemonkey". On the other hand, travelling on a plane and refusing to wear a mask is even less acceptable. I don't know how such people could be named. Now...

Re: Impact of aviation on the Coronavirus crisis
I don't believe that story. 1. With easyJet, facial masks are mandatory. Passengers not doing so inflight, know that they risk to be confronted with the police upon arrival. If they don't wear a mask during deboarding, they even risk an immediate fine. 2. If I see someone without facial mask in a s...

Re: Impact of aviation on the Coronavirus crisis
A word of caution to those planning to fly with Easyjet. Easyjet's check-in algorithm prioritises stacking people closely together rather than social distancing, so that people pay to chose their seats. I was assigned a middle seat on a 90% booked flight while 3 rows at the front were totally empty....

Another question is how long LH will last with their 9 billions. I don't think that they'll last much longer than the Spring of 2021.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
If SN is in negative equity, a loan won't change that. The good thing is that LH is injecting equity to the tunes of 170 Millions, to bring the company back into solvency. As for the loan, the government has SN's shares as collateral, meaning that they either repay it or the government becomes owner...
