Oneworld and IAG would have been the far better option for SN. I don’t know how many times it needs to be repeated, but IAG wasn’t interested in buying SN, ONLY Luftie was. It was Luftie or bankrupt, FULL STOP! IAG was close to open an Open Skies (the, more business orientated predecessor of Level)...

The original source here is Sri Lankan newspaper The Daily Mirror

The messenger put his head above the parapet by copy/pasting pure sewer journalism.

So, 5 passengers came on board with an economy boarding pass but pretended they were, according to an agreement with their company, entitled to sit in business class. Captain offers four of them an upgrade as there are only four empty seats in the front. The five make a fuss about it, demand that an...

From 2011 to 2014 the local management managed to reduce debts from -80mil to -4mil.
2015 and and 2016 were both positive, respectively 41mil and 15 mil.

That is not correct, between 2012 and 2015 the cumulated loss was above 100 million euro and the debt went up from 354 to 423!

SN's shareholders were so naive in the end in their selling strategy that a smart LH managed to buy it for peanuts. It allowed them to sideline competition at BRU at a minimal cost which in turn would be offset by flying Belgian passengers to LH's main hubs. For that purpose it has kept SN on a lif...

OK, mentioning Easyjet because it starts flying to West Africa was a mistake because, so far, they will only fly to Cape Verde. As to your comparison Beerschot/Haaland I think you missed my point. I am not suggesting a 777X for SN, "just" the A321LR to increase destinations and frequencie...

If you see the expansion plans of EasyJet it is again obvious to me that SN needs A321 long range to increase destinations and frequencies (trafic rights permitting) to Western abd Central Africa. Seriously? What on earth do the plans of easyJet have in common with SN operations to Africa? You’ll p...

TimTam wrote: ↑12 Apr 2024, 12:06 Talking about harmonization... Just out of curiosity, does anyone have an idea why SN and Eurowings are getting different engines than LH, LX and OS ?

Just out of curiosity, are you aware of the issues with the PW1000 engines?

I'm not a specialist but in 2000 I took often the flight of Sabena between Nantes and Brussels for my job and the pax was good I don't now about the yield obviously. There you have it: Sabena had aircraft of all sizes, a huge network, very good loads, but went bankrupt! (Don’t get me started about ...

Just Aviation enthousiast.

Some would-be experts use arrogant style to appear more clever. Quod non.

Maybe no aviation experts, experts in trolling on the other hand…

Yep, let’s reinvent the laws of physics and the problem will be solved indeed!

A pilot who moves to a new airline drops at the bottom of the seniority list for the aircraft type and position they hold. SN's most experienced A320 captain will become the most junior A320 captain if they move to another airline. At airlines where pilots and copilots get to choose the routes they...

If I remember well, a part of the profit of last year was going to be paid to all employees as an extra bonus and that was not a small amount. It's not only a dividend to the shareholders You are mixing up two different things here, profit share is peanuts compared to management bonuses. Believe me...

The agreement was on the table. The pilots and unions agreed with the wage increase proposed by SN. But at the end, to compensate it, they had to deliver in 14 recuperation days from the 144 days. Honestly, who would accept to work 14 extra days/year to self-finance a salary increase? Can you even ...

I've read the strike will cut the (fragile!) profits in half... Well done pilots and all parties involved, well done! Ah, always amazing how people swallow this managerial propaganda whilst the same managers are laughing their way to the bank to collect big bonuses! A 10% pay rise for every SN empl...

BRU was a crossover point and fueling stop, not really point to point flights.

No, why do you think so?
SBC is operating Bamako with a fueling stop in Las Palmas.
