The similarities to the Air Transat rudder separation are too similar to ignore, draw your own conclusions. Which similarities are you talking about? Besides the fact that both lost a part (a different one at it) I don't see any. Let's compare them: -AA587 entered an emergency situation (entered th...

B744skipper, I don't like politics interfering with this any more than you do, but it's a simple fact of life. With this particular deal, there has been pressure from the EU to buy Airbus, but there has ALSO been pressure from the US to buy Boeing (Chirac, Schroeder, Blair AND Bush have all sent let...

For who it might interest: I just saw the United 767 in the new colors pass over my house on its way to BRU.

Sorry guys, but they're not coming, they're going to Paris.

I, being neither weak-kneed nor overly-sensitive, find TEACH's outbursts in this forum very offensive, intolerant and, therefore, out-of-place in a DISCUSSION forum. And I find the accusatory tone with which some people here, including you, are speaking on this subject without knowing the full fact...

If one is going to offer such criticisms, one really needs to provide some justification, without which such an outburst might appear just a trifle arrogant. It is well known that the Guardian is, how should I put it, not exactly known for its pro-Europe stance. Furthermore, if you had read the art...

This article casts a very very dark cloud over the A310 The article is sensationalist. It only portrays one side of the story, and can hardly be called objective. It's an opinion piece and only 'casts a dark cloud over the A310' to those not familiar with The Guardian... It would seem obvious this ...

Now, have a look here I am well aware of this, thank you. air carriers regarding operational use of the rudders and the subsequent effects on the vertical stabilizer. ..exactly! The, and I quote, "effects on the VERTICAL STABILIZER". Not on the rudder. In this case, it was the RUDDER that...

95% of the rudder ripped away I've seen the pictures in the mean time. And that only strengthens my belief that there is no relation to AA 587. Why? In this incident, part of the RUDDER 'fell off'. With AA587 is was the entire vertical stabilizer. Different places at which they failed, different pa...

Why???

Since TAP already operates A343's a A330 would make sense...

... which is pretty much what I wrote. So why the why?

Can you provide a direct link, please? I can't seem to find the article on the link you posted.

Anyway, this'll be the long awaited A310 replacement. This order is Airbus' to lose...

Then, what's this: "In that case there is no talk of a structural failure of the tail assembly, and thus absolutely no connection to AA587"?????

Gwillie,

Just what part of 'In that case' and 'from what I read here' is it you did not understand?

Even though there is no indication that this was in any way related to the structural failure (above and beyond critical limits BTW) of AA587, it's funny to see people jumping to conclusions. I'll be waiting patiently for the first one to start about the 'plastic rudders' of Airbuses, and how they a...

With all due respect, but what exactly was the point of your first post here?

Etihad have published their summer timetable (March - October) on their website, and the rumored service to toronto via Brussels is nowhere to be seen...

It's been quiet on that rumor for a while now, so is it still planned?

JetB, Do not forget Jet Airways, this airline operating the Brussels - New York route is going to create an even bigger overcapacity !. A few things you'seem to be missing again. 1) MIA and JFK are pretty far from each other, and I doubt a MIA flight would steal away passengers from JFK flights, or ...

JetB, I think you're overlooking a few things. There's far more potential, IMHO, to this route than just O&D traffic, and this at both ends: - MIA is AA's hub for Latin America and the Carribbean. There are currently no scheduled flights from BRU to South America at all. People who want to trave...

Until now nothing happened so I don't see how AA could even start operating these flights before the summer season !.

The rumor says they're looking into starting next winter season, so that should give them some time. A decision is apparently expected in May.

Hello! According to this post http://www.airliners.net/discussions/general_aviation/read.main/1983356/ (reply 2), American is looking into starting a MIA-BRU route, especially to provide onward connections to Africa through BRU (and thus, presumably in codeshare with SN). Does anyone know more about...

Its no wonder the U.S. wants to go to the WTO to stop this political influence pedaling. Just wondering, but how exactly is this different from what the US does with the likes of El Al, China Airlines, Saudia, etc.? Whether you like to admit it or not, political influence is used by BOTH the EU and...
