History repeats itself.

BRU-HKT (Phuket)-BKK is with one crew, BKK-BRU with another. Layover in BKK.

Grtz!

Which hotel does JAF crew use?
I remember from the past that Swiss crew staid at Sofitel Central Lard Prao.
Did Sabena crew stay somewhere on Silom? In the Dusit Thani?

I don't know where they were staying but most of the time, they were hanging around in Soi nana, Soi cowboy, Pathphong and Sumkhumvit 33....

Today's incoming JAF624 from Phuket and Bangkok was announced for arrival at 19h35, but the flight is now announced as delayed till Monday, 13h14.

Flights that are delayed and haven't taken off yet are normally announced with a 5 minute margin, example 13h10 or 13h15. So it could also be a computer error?

My friend called me yesterday evening as the same a/c was supposed to take him to Mombasa.

Seems it went technical. Anybody knows what the issue was ?/is ?

Pax have been offered night at the sheraton and 4 meal vouchers.

Cheers.

JAF727 BRU/MBA Flight for Sunday 5 of August 2012 21:30 has been delayed until Monday 12:20. Seems like OO-TUC has been playing up again, causing a chain of delays...

JAF is a joke of a company... unfortunately Belgians accept anything and don´t care about customer service. I guess anywhere else they would be over. Btw, you don´t hear of Arkefly or Thomson having these things happening.

[sean1982]

but to be honest: how long is this OO-TUC story going on allready? 5 years? 6 years? Time enough to find a bit more reliable 767 in my opinion

There is nothing worse then starting your holiday with 14 hour delay, the same thing happened to me 2 years ago going to PUJ, also with OO-TUC. result: 12 hours in the airport with a drinks and food coupon waiting for OO-JAP to arrive. :/

It´s not Belgian bashing! It´s just the Belgian culture of accepting everything as normal. "Oh, the plane broke, thank God that they will send another one in 10 hours". Try to complaint to JAF? European Guidelines? Pffff...

JAF is clearly badly "organized". If they don´t have the means for long haul, just don´t do it and leave that for real charter companies that can manage to have a descent structure and not a plane that breaks every other day...

[teddybAIR]

...and not a plane that breaks every other day...

Can you back this up with facts?

[sean1982]

I think the breakdown history of OO-TUC is well documented and known and does not need any additional fact statements

[teddybAIR]

well, I think it does sean neet additoinal fact-based statements, because I recall OO-TUC going technical extremely regularly in it's early years at JAF, but I have the impression that this improved dramatically over the past few years. So I wonder what the reliability of TUC was during 2011...anybody got fact-based arguments?

Just FYI Thomas Cook was on the news a few days ago and they couldn't resolve the issue before 30 hours had passed. One of their planes went technical and it took them 30 (!) hours to find a leasingplane for those pax.. So you'd rather talk about them than about JAF

[Sai]

I agree, It's more of a perception issue. In the summer it's just harder to find a replacement as well for JAF as for TC. Can we therefor conclude that TC is badly organized and don't have the means for medium-haul if they don't find a replacement in a few hours. Offcourse if it would be my flight I wouldn't be happy either...
But for some it seems only SNBA has the right to 'exist' and have the 'means'...
Planes have technical issues all the time, except if it's OO-TUC it's 'breaking news'.
And oh well OO-TUC will leave the fleet in a year to be replaced by the 787. It wouldn't be very cost effective to find and use a newer 767 for just a year...
And I'm quit certain that when the 787 comes to the fleet, it will have lots of technical issues in the beginning as with every new type of aircraft wherever and whenever it's introduced...
