frustrating for you to see just 3 rows in B-light if you tried to book it but it was full. Actually, it doesn't work like this. Before the check-in of a flight opens, a system running in the background calculates the passengers per cabin, in order to assign a certain amount of seat rows for b.busin...

Bring on the ATC charges, I'd say, so the unfair subsidizing of movements at CRL through a too high ATC fee at BRU can finally be done away with! I am sure FR won't mind: after all, they hate unfair subsidies, don't they, so they will be more than pleased to be allowed to finally pay their part in ...

So, please, tell us all how it comes you seem to know in details what a f/a earns and how he/she reaches the generous pay check at the end of the month. Actually, you are the one shouting cabin crew is earning peanuts, so before making such a statement YOU should know in details what a cabin crew m...

it's because they like their job, but that doesn't mean you can pay them peanuts For me it's really the end of the discussion, but as a last piece of advice: just try to figure out what an SN cabin crew member earns on average per month. I can agree that the share between gross wages and allowances...

Do you mind giving arguments to counter the ones from the union? Umm no thanks, first of all I'm not involved and secondly I won't waste my time reacting to a union pamflet. No, your armchair CEO would not have turned around the company in the shortest possible time, but he would think before actin...

If your wife is buying the most expensive clothes to use to work in the garden en when and when i need new winter shoes because i don't have and she says walk naked because we have no more money! I am very curious to know what you will do! Oh God :roll: Do us all a favour and post here what you ear...

Really interesting indeed, let's all start reading union blogspots to get an accurate and unbiased view on what's happening in a company and how the social talks are proceeding

Come on, the base salary is at an absolute low. And it's what matters for pension / sickness / unemployment / leave If b.air wants to consider allowances as a salary, then they should be liable for social security / taxes. Can't have it both ways. So raise the base salary and at the same time keep ...

Night stops and per diems somehow compensate a little but it doesn't change the fact that this is all quite close to minimum wage for a demanding job. I wonder if the unions would dare to post here how "little" these compensations are on average. It would be a serious eye-opener and stop ...

You may want to change the subject header of your topic, as bastards is a bit harsh, no? A certain percentage of flights gets cancelled (usually around 1-1,5%), for various reasons (technical problems, lack of crew, lack of aircraft, ...). From a statistics point of view, all frequent flyers will be...

Sn26567, Just a possible scenario: only 2 seats were available, and after the quote on the LH website the SN website couldn't quote it anymore... I believe there is no instant "recaching" of the fares (what you find on the web versus the real availability), only when you really want to boo...

It gives a very important advantage to BRU. Of course it is very sad that AA has to close a very ancient line from BRU to ORD but it create a free space in the morning at the B-pier. And it is needed because the morning is quite full. A very important advantage... I'd say it's even excellent news t...

Example of schedule with Q400: BRU 0630 CDG 0730 BRU 0700 CDG 0800 BRU 0730 CDG 0830 BRU 0800 CDG 0900 CDG 0800 BRU 0900 CDG 0830 BRU 0930 CDG 1000 BRU 1100 CDG 1030 BRU 1130 The thought alone of operating the Q400 on SN's Africa (de)feeder flights is hilarious! :mrgreen: Next to that - what are yo...

At that time, I wrote to b.air customer relations to suggest they try out a wet-leased 50-seater turboprop. The answer was : wet-leases are too expensive ! Now they are apparently going for such an option (was I such a bad armchair manager to suggest something which is now going to be put into prac...

Yes it is logic because an evening flight to JFK means that the airplane will land back at BRU just after noon. Then you have the second Africa wave of SN. So what do you do then with your passengers arriving out of Africa in the morning? Let them wait for half a day? And even if SN would have two ...

But even when these airplanes are loaded in the GDS it's not sure if they really come, because they don't always have a widebody available. So they publish a flight on a widebody, offer the physical capacity of a widebody for sales and on the day of operation they have a look whether a widebody is ...

With the additional African destination, Bamako, can we expect also an additional aircraft? Or are they going to reshuffle again? Why would a twice weekly Bamako lead to 'again' reshuffles or a 6th aircraft? I don't see the need for any of the two to be honest... And a triangular BRU - YUL - BOS Wi...

It is beyond my understanding that SN first makes a planeload of passengers miss their Friday dinner appointments in WAW and then does the same for another planeload to miss their Friday dinner appointments in BRU. The alternative would have been that the Krakow passengers wouldn't have made it to ...

Hannover will be operated by RJ85 3 daily(to replace Q400) Says who? An aircraft type in the system doesn't say anything, what counts is your saleable capacity. Maybe it's too early to load the aircraft type... nobody confirmed that HAJ will be operated by SN metal. maybe SN isn't going to cut thei...

As AC's Aeroplan and Miles & More are two different frequent flyer programs, the amount of miles/points you can collect on your trip might be different. However, as both FFPs belong to Star Alliances carriers, I'd just collect them on my existing Miles & More account. Otherwise you end up wi...
