Re: Trivia 2023 (miscellaneous news) - part 2

Update on the possible volcanic eruption in Iceland: Today on RÚV English Radio, why you shouldn't worry about any forthcoming trips to Iceland. There is still a lot of uncertainty about where, or whether, any volcanic eruption may take place on the Reykjanes Peninsula. One thing that can be said th...

Re: Trivia 2023 (miscellaneous news)

Thanks, Lux_avi, for a rather constructive post, if we except the criticism against a member of the news team. Criticism? Lux pointed out your article was plain wrong, you then insisted you were right on the basis of notam which was totally unrelated and even now, iso just admitting you were wrong,...

Re: Trivia 2023 (miscellaneous news)

Poor and unsensational "remark" at its best. Kristín Jónsdóttir, head of department at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, suggests that people will need to remain in suspense for the next few days to witness how events unfold. The stakes are high, as authorities fear they might have as ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

Everywhere you have to work harder, more, being flexible for the same money. Just to make it clear to people what ’everywhere’ means: for the average Belgian it means a physical working place ’at home’ to commuting 1hr to a big city. For the world of aviation it means chosing between Zaventem, Char...

Would you like to compare the working conditions between SN cabin crew and LH, KLM, AF, BA…?

When you don’t know, there are two options; inform yourself or just don’t talk (to remain polite).

Erm, most people look for a route and do not really care which airline flies it.

Btw, the merge has not been approved yet.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

We're speaking Airbus here, not Boeing. Remember United receiving its first A321neo in October? The aircraft spent 3 weeks on the ground in Houston before its first flight. It all depends on the things you want to install or have in the aircraft. Remember TUI receiving 3x E2's as well? ;) I'm just ...

That still doesn't really explain the 4 weeks timeframe IMHO.
TUI never took that long between the 1st commercial flight and the delivery of its brand new planes. That includes new types under the very slow BCAA.

It remains a risky and non-ambitious business modell.. Very sad. There is a difference between ambitious and suicidal. The ideas of you have for SN are not ambitious, they are suicidal. Do you prefer to have a (relatively) small carrier in Belgium (still not doing very well, btw...) or end up like ...

I hope it's readable: The title is wrong: Air Belgium doesn't scrap ALL passenger flights, it scraps only SCHEDULED passenger flights. ACMI flights can also involve passengers.
