Re: Updated: Lufthansa cabin crew strike November 7th, 2019 1300 flights cancelled
"Things are changing at AirFrance and the last strikes were early in the summer of 2018. LH and BA have been much more prone to strikes in the last year. AF signed contracts with all its pilot unions sin Ben Smith came in as CEO. Will there be strikes in France in France in the future - of cour...

Re: Boeing 797 Thread - 2019
I do see the 797 being delayed a lot because Boeing is going to have to save lots of cash to pay airlines compensations, victims law suit, production over costs and other fees. I wonder how much the insurance will be able to cover.

Re: Iberia set to grow another 6% next year, mostly in Europe
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46617152Just read on BBC.COM that EU has decided that in case of no Brexit agreement BA would not be able to fly with in EU so my guess IB will take over for BA if we get to that situation.

Re: Airbus Claims that A350XWB is quieter than B787, but is it really?
I just flew 787-8 with AA and found it very noisy. I was very disappointed. I flew back on a 77W and found it much quieter. It is possible that it was noisy due to be seated at the wing level vs in front on the 77W?
