Hey tolipanebas, thanks for the help (who are you by the way?):lol:
As said earlier my reason for posting was to give the facts as clear and honest as I know them.
So if I pissed someone off, please accept my apologies.
ANd for those being disgusted about something us pilots say please tell us or ...

about the premiums,
yes we get extra for nightstops and indeed it can amount to a nice amount. But remember that to earn the big money you won't be sleeping at home a lot. I don't mind to be in a hotel room 10 nights a month but some people do and yes of course I miss a lot of social occasions but ...

Hello Everybody.

First of all I would like to stress AGAIN that I am AGAINST a Strike!!!!!!!!!!
Second I am 300% FOR our company and the first one to tell me otherwise please come tell me that to my face.

So anyone thinking that the idea for a strike is mine because I started this topic please ...

Ah yes,
If some of our management are reading this and you find something that I'm not allowed to say please tell me and I'll edit my messages.
Or, even better, if I'm telling some faulty information please correct me. We all like to get the correct information. (and I wouldn't want to spread ...

First of all I would like to state that going on strike would be the last thing on our mind, none of us would like to do that as it isn't fun for us either. But as you all know sometimes this is the last resource because the management doesn't want to listen to you otherwise.
So rest assured we will ...

I just read the article about the pilot troubles with SNBA.

I for one am one of the pilots of SNBA (or rather DAT as it says on my contract), and I can confirm that we are indeed going red hot with the way the managment treats us.

I was therefore not surprised that they decided to flog the dead ...

Hello guys,

Just to tell you that Bertje is driving us crazy in the cockpit too.
Before all this mess started you could plan your approach and you knew about how much fuel and time you needed, since all these changes you never know which runway you can expect. As long as there's the 25l&r no extra ...

well... it shoudl be possible to land on the 02 with some tailwind, at least for the smaller aircraft like the avro but i don't think any of the big boys will do so. Tailwind landings always put more strain on the pilots and especially with the configuration of the rwy 02 it should pose some ...

believe me we (as flight crew @ snba) would like to know the new schedule just as well , because that we we now what we could expect as nightstops for the winter season. As far as I know budapest will be coming online soon and they are indeed looking at some of the longer routes to fly with our own ...

A loan from SBA? Where are we going to get that money? we don't have enough real money for ourselves to buy back all th eloans we have, so how would we be giving money to Sobelair?

Nice flying ya all

I heard from a friend of mine (in the know) that the curator thinks/knows that sobelair will go bankrupt for SURE at the end of the summer.
Ok I know that we'll have to see it before we can be sure of it but hey, some people also said SABENA would never go bankrupt.
I did some observation flights ...

Hey bart wake up boy, you think they really would ask our opinion about that. From what I heard they are looking at all the contenders but that's it for the moment. In september they are going to form a commission who will decide which aircraft to take. I guess the chief pilots will be on that group ...

WHAT, no pictures of the crew!?!?! 8O :wink:
Djee I think all that sparkling water went to your head there bart (not used to it anymore are you? :D )
When I see the picture just before landing I'm happy to fly around in Europe, must be kinda funky landing such a big plane on a 3rd rate road.
So I ...

and what about the 717 line? If they close it fast enough (as there don't seem to be that many being sold) then maybe we at SNBA won't be able to buy some -> JIPPY
djee I think I should stop licking those frogs 8O

nice flying ya all
dolf

don't forget little blue-belly oo-djq

nice flying ya all
dolf

so does that mean that for the moment SWISS is saved or is it just a small delay of execution.
I guess we will hear more about that in the next few days right?

nice flying ya all.
dolf

so it seems today would be quite an important day for Swiss.
Let's see what happens then.

Nice flying ya all
Dolf

I've been checking out some news sites (newspapers and television, all belgian) and there's NOTHING about Sobelair or Swiss (maybe I failed to find it).
It seems that most news channels just don't give a damn about aviation anymore. :evil:

Something I did see was that Lufthansa denies wanting to ...

I wouldn't mind some 50 seaters but the problem is that most of them are not very comfortable for the pax, unless you think it's cosy sitting on the lap of another passenger (ok ok some passengers, a.k.a. the daily babes, would be more than welcome to sit on my lap but that's not the point).
Plus I ...
