I hope a merger isnt on the cards. SN Brussels in Belgiums national carrier and should remain as such. The Virgin name is getting on me wick a bit, its moving into the states, already in Oz. In my experience Virgin isnt anything special neither is its fares particularly economy.

I have no doubt Mr Bransons upper class is outstanding but the economy is the same if not worse than other carriers including BA. We economy dont get a masseur do we or a facial! Virgin is overrated, Virgin sun however, was a good charter airline.

I doubt SN Brussels wants Virgin Express tired old 737-300s, they want new A319s

Try Biman, and have a ride on the A310 before they become obsolete. Emirates is no big deal and their 777s and 330s will be around for ages and you will get loads of chances to fly them in the future. You take Biman and the 310!

Nice pics, again! You have not a bad lot have you, plane spotting every day. Im jealous! Nice of you to share your photos, much appreciated by people like me who live some distance from the airport and rarely get the chance to visit other than when flying.

I dont care for US Airways. Now, TWA that was another matter. I loved that airline and it was allowed to be bullied into an almalgamaion and its name took away and its route hubs diminidhed.

USAirways has made a rod for its own back. Flying regional jets on mainline/medium haul routes and offering nothing more than a beverage service. No wonder no one wants to fly them.
