I don't know where you get this info of 3000 euro for an FO and 6000 euro for a capt, but when I worked for Brussels Airlines not to long ago for a couple of years we did not have these kind of salaries. However I get the drift of tax deduction in Belgium now, my apologies..... I still think howeve...

Of what I remember from my school days, the cost of replacement of an employee in any organisation is one year of the gross salary of the employee to be replaced. I do not know if this is valid for aviation but it should not be far from that. It gets me a bit itchy to always hear (read) substantive ...

....that Belgians apparently are not able to run an airline. Did not say that either! Mr. Dieu in his time was a very successfully entreprising Sabena president, but he was not politically chosen (he was a an unavoidable war hero), while his successors were. Mr. Guttelman, Pommé, Lejeune were all o...

BTW, no, I am not sour at all, I have had it all and enjoy it now.

Looks like you're very sour, Corto :cry: Some of us did like Sabena, but I think we can all agree to say it was always badly run. So, we thought the rotten tree (to quote you, did you mean sabena ?) was cut and a new one was planted (snba). But is the new already rooten, too ? Could very well be. O...

Think outside the box. I gave you a suggestion already: The point that has been reached is of no return, for politics, with its corruption, nepotism, clientelism etc... is meddling in every aspects of aviation, not to mention the rest of the Kingdom's life, and has spoilt it to the point that it is ...

I realize this is quite a bit naive to ask, but after reading all your posts on the matter, this comes to mind: Pilot shortage is a worldwide phenomenon, and that situation is not going to improve soon, unless the warlords extend their game westwards. Europe has now a licencing system that makes it ...

In my humble opinion, I think think that it depends on the number and serie of the aircraft. For example, the Airbus 290 was a lot better than the Boeing 706, until they came out with the 707. There is a good chance that the Boeing 797 would be better than the Airbus 390, but then we would have to s...

The mark is for the A330-200 which is quite shorter than the A330-300, the latter being the same length as the A340-200.
By the way, notice that this A340-200 is stopped on the marker of A330!

Unless I missed something in the organisations of companies in Belgium, Human Resources do not make policies, they just manage personnel according to policies implemented by the executive of the company. Consequently, I guess the accountability would have to be requested from somewhere between HR an...

Ok, you're right....But some propaganda style of posts tend to stiffen my spine.

LX, I am not answering your posts for your sake, as there is little chance that the stiffness of your, let’s say “positions”, is likely to be enhanced by any kind of sensible reasoning. You seem to be stuck in the concrete of your prejudiced ideas and not even worth the effort to be pulled out of th...

LX, I see you are in travel trade. So all your posts and brain washing attempts are simply aimed at protecting your own business, right? Or are you delegated by "The Lobby" to take the temperature and try to modify labour trends? Labour is still driven by market laws: Offer and demand; tod...

After the little intermezzo, going back to topic. I have been reading all the postings about it on this forum and on PPRUNE, just to let village people know that the situation is monitored from beyond the fatherland's border, with all borderland countries politicians and airline CEOs having a heck o...

... Thank god the Avro is the only plane with 5 APU's so nothing can happen lol

Chris

WRONG!!! The plane with 5 APU's is the Scarebus A340-200/300. The Avro has one APU and 4 blow dryers!

If he doesn't, or cannot extend the gear at landing, or forgets to lower the landing gear before landing, he is going to experience a big surprise ....

...He will need Take Off thrust to taxi to the gate....

How about this one: A captain, first, second and thirs officer are marine denomination; captain also exist in the army. In an aeroplane, there is a PILOT. If the aeroplane is certified to be operated with two pilots, one will be the PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) or in french "pilote commandant de bord...
