it’s proabbly a case of Buzz having to few aircraft to service longer flights at the moment.

RE: New wall planner in new issue

What exactly is your problem?

The wall planner is just a bonus. Are you saying you buy the magazine purely for free gifts?

I buy, and filled the questionnaire out, for News content, not quality of freebies.

RE: Airline food

LX do good stuff, but I’ve not been impressed with the sandwich on BSL-LHR flights. It was way better when there was some competition with BA.

And what’s the excuse for not serving coffee on those flights? Not long enough to warrant turning the machine on, or something.

RE: virgin

Virgin lost about 200 jobs (I think), and if I remember correctly, they parked some 747 claaics, although at the moment I think that’s just temporarily.

RE: Crossair

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-11-01 AT 05:39 PM (GMT)]Jon, two years ago, I was working at Jet Aviation in Basel, when the Saab 340 crashed on take off from Zurich.

I was in the Crossair cantine daily for Lunch, and know how the whole place was affected by that incident. I’ve already mailed the condolence book (condolence@crossair.com).

I have read on Reuters that of the 29 pax and 5 crew, 24 bodies have been found, 2 people have been released from Hospital, and a further 7 are still being treated, 2 of them for serious injuries.

2 Crew are confirmed among the survivors, although there has been no information if they are cabin crew or flight crew.

The Pilot and Co-pilot were both Swiss citizens, and the Pilot had been with Crossair for 22 years, and was described as ‘very experienced’ by CEO Andre Dose.

I flew on an LX RJ100 as recently as August, on the BSL-ZRH shuttle.

Glad to hear you’re ok, our thoughts are with you and your colleagues.

RE: ?

All I know is there was a Swiss company based in Geneva who did feasability studies about 4 years ago.

The company went out of business after a couple of months of operating 767’s on the route.

As to how a 737 could have a longer range than a 707 or DC-8, the answer is 35 years of technology and Engines that require less fuel.
