Alex McWhirterParticipantLufthansa is not making many friends in Belgium.
It wants to replace Brussels Airlines with Eurowings but that decision is meeting opposition from many companies.
And neither are the trade unions happy.
Brussels Airlines unions: “We are ready to fight for the survival of the Brussels Airlines brand!”

LuganoPirateParticipantThe courts blamed Swissair for the failure of Sabena. It had nothing to do of course, with the fact the pilots went on strike just after 9/11 and they were bleeding ten of millions every day due to mismanagement and inefficiency! Swissair could do nothing as it had the minority stake.
Same now with Brussels Airlines. They need a bit of German discipline to get things in order!

capetonianmParticipantI’ve only flown with Brussels Airlines once, and I won’t bore with the details, but suffice to say that I fervently hope never to have to fly with them again. In fact if I never have to go to Brussels Airport again that’s too soon.
German discipline would be good.
