Re: SN to Africa - one cancellation per day

Fair comment Lumumba. No problem there. Based upon a fact, and personal experience. Sorry to hear it though. But the comment that everything is to blame to the "old and tired birds", is a bit out there. Especially as no one has come up with facts yet as what the cause is. It's just an atte...

Re: SN to Africa - one cancellation per day

Re: AF versus SN in AFI

So basically Flanker... If I sift out all the BS, put 1 and 1 together, compensate for the descisions in your ideas, it comes down to the fact that you want more aircraft to do the same work. Also, fly at less favourable times resulting in lower yields.... And maintanance? Well, very inconvenient, t...
