Of course everyone can express his opinion, but everyone should try to post a reasoned opinion, not rumours or scandals or slander. Luchtzak respects all opinions, but cannot tolerate sentences that can harm someone or some company. Well, I didn't paste any rumours. My post is based on the financia...

If we want a solution for BRU all the governments will have to put their disagreements in the closet. I think they seem to forget this problem is about Belgium and not only about Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia. This are jobs of people from all the regions. This is the pride of Belgium. What if we l...

Does Vueling let you buy food/drinks on board? (If that is the case they need to pay for catering just like Iberia, hence taxes should be the same) Or does Vueling not use the gates in Barcelona but park its planes on a remote parking? I was once in Barcelona and there Vueling has almost one termin...

Strange to read that the route to NY is not profitable. The planes are always full. Even business class. Maybe they transport some cargo as well. Maybe it is too expensive to keep personal at BRU and JFK for only two flights a week. Maybe the rout could become profitable if they would fly it with a...

really, I don't understand why some people state that the Virgin Management doesn't know what they are doing. In fact this matter is very simple, if the following holds, the investment is worthwhile Maybe the management knows what they are doing but the fact is that Virgin is losing money for the m...

I don't understand why Virgin is investing in this winglets. I truly believe they should start investing in renewing their fleet instead of keeping the planes. I'm afraid for you the Virgin management know what they are doing. Either they have more info than you, or stronger brains. You surely don'...

I think the problem just lays in the legacy carriers that just have to high expensese on salary. Also most of these carriers have just to much personal. They could do with a lot less. Also why putting your pilots in a five star hotel when you are doing a nightstop? Can't they be happy with less? Any...

I don't understand why Virgin is investing in this winglets. I truly believe they should start investing in renewing their fleet instead of keeping the planes. But if they put winglets it means that they plan on keeping those 737 for a long time to come. I think at least they should also change then...

Re: What future for SN Brussels Airlines (and Virgin Express

If such a committee had been in place earlier, one would have avoided a departure fee for Peter Davies, estimated at 500,000 to 5 million euros! Can somebody explain me how it is possible that when a manager leaves the company they get this amount of money. This happened with Sabena too, every mana...

The price was that a new vueling plane will be named after him and that he could fly for 5 years on all the routes this plane is flying. Well, now finally this passenger received his price.

I thought they had 2 flights every day and that one of them leaves in the afternoon. So they pull it after the plane is unloaded to a parking spot to pull it back to the gate later on in the morning to start boarding. This has been done like this for many years already. Normally they put the plane i...
