Unfortunately flights to US will not happen! Approximately 1 year ago b.air was approached by codeshare partner AA to start a 2nd daily flight to JFK in the evening (like the old Sabena schedule) but b.air declined... they are still digging for gold in Africa and that's how it will stay. I find it a...

Hello, b.flex fast lane security is only guaranteed at BRU airport, at the moment there's ongoing negociations with several airports to provide the same service in outstation. This will however not be the case at all airports. Since a couple of weeks there's a new sign at the boarding gates which is...

Hi CSB! It depends on what you REALLY want: best seat or best view?? Best seat on 737-300 is definitely 12A or 12F when in b.light economy as these are next to the emergency hatch and you do NOT have any seat in front of you. More, you can still recline the seatback! But the view is s**t (excuse my ...

Wow, nice for the spotters: OO-JAT flying in hybrid-colours! Probably they didn't want to spend anymore € repainting the a/c after their financial hemorrhage caused by hundreds of sub-charters these past 2 months. SORRY JAFflyer, nothing personal... just hate their management-style, that's all! Thou...

Come on JAF-people, just face it: you simply don't have the people to fly those extra aircraft. Don't blame it on BCAA!! When I see you passing by, it breaks my heart. You're all knackered and at the virge of a breakdown... and the REAL summer-rush hasn't even started yet!!! Or is the fact that 28 (...

TUB001 wrote: Of course it is tiring and the summer season is absolutely exhausting, but hey, if you have more important things to do, then just leave the job for motivated people... My reply to that: motivation only is NOT enough to survive the horrible summer that awaits the poor JAF-crews. Yes, ...

And still the JAF-management doesn't open their eyes... it's like their only concern is making as much money as possible. But at what expense??? I heard that planning there is a REAL disaster. Why? Because they promise to new ab initio pilots that they don't have to pay for their type rating if they...

Hi all! I read the same article in "De Tijd"... For insiders this article must be another slap in the face cause it's full of bullsh*t! But then again, they've always been great in wrapping an empty box beautifully! Quick recap of the article: "We've just received an EXCELLENT report ...

I think their managment-style of the past 3 years has finally started back-firing. After threatening their personnel numerous times & not giving them any opportunity to voice their opinion, plenty of them have decided to leave the sinking ship... Maybe they could re-brand to TITANIC Airways! In ...

So we'd better wait what O'Leary has to say for himself... I heared the rumour about 15 FR-aircraft in CRL as well. The Belgian market is promising to become a real battlefield: Brussels Airlines with their b.light, SKYeurope which is rapidly increasing the flights to BRU, Easyjet who's putting it's...

Very good news indeed... If only they would have the people to crew those new aircraft! My best friend works for them and she's really down... apparently the big exodus has started with Brussels Airlines recruiting and on top of that, they cannot find the (unexperienced) people they need! JAF is fac...

Hi all, Heared from one of my colleagues that in the future EasyJet WILL start a base in BRU. This source comes from his wife/girlfriend who's got something to do with Brussels Airport Company... Anyone heared the same yet? Anybody at BAC that wishes to reply to this? Wouldn't that be great?! Having...

Very sad about the Reds disappearing from BRU airport... Always loved their dynamic paintscheme! That's why my font colour will always be red... in rememberance of VEX.

Fly'em!

Hi all, Very disappointing to read all these negative comments on the (OBVIOUSLY) SN commercial department... Hope they won't drag VEX into the same mess then. People can say whatever they want but VEX has been a very good company these past years: hardly any delays, technical problems and a smoothl...

Dear vc-10, I wouldn't get my hopes up too much with TAP. I do not want to discourage you but apparently the Gatwick destination does not work and flights are cancelled daily. A close friend of mine works for them and can't believe what they are doing: cancelling several flights daily cause they do ...
