British Airways Cabin Crews Say No Strike Over Easter


Cabin crew at British Airways have ruled out striking over Easter even if next week's ballot goes in favor of a strike action.
The Unite union which represents 12,000 cabin crew is re-balloting members after a court ruled that a planned 12-day strike over Christmas was unlawful.
The ballot result, which will be known on March 22, threatens to ground all British Airways services.
The union said it had made the announcement so that families could plan their Easter holidays in without fear of a strike.....

Does Brussels Airlines expect Lufthansa to buy the balance of SN’s share in 2011?


In a recent interview with ETN Geert Sciot's answer was  "Lufthansa owns “call options,” which allows the group to buy the remaining 55 percent of the shares from 2011 onwards during 4 consecutive years, so it can happen between 2011 and 2015. It is [a] call option - this means Lufthansa has the right but not the obligation to buy these shares and become 100 percent owner of Brussels Airlines. We cannot speculate about what will happen, but the fact that this call option was negotiated and agreed says a lot of course"
In reply to the question of besides synergy effects in training, insurance, spares, maintenance, general procurement, where else will the Lufthansa group membership bring financial and other benefits for SN? Geert replied " Our sales teams will work together or join the same office buildings.
In some markets, we will jointly offer travel agents and corporate sales contract.s
We introduced the Miles & More frequent flyer program. Miles & More is recognized as Europe's best FFP.
Network optimization: We have started codeshares on several routes (Germany, UK, Switzerland, and soon Austria). Lufthansa has also put its code on several AFR routes of Brussels Airlines, vice versa Brussels Airlines can now offer via Lufthansa easy connections to Libreville, Khartoum, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Accra.
We can benefit from Lufthansa's strong IT knowhow.
Economies of scales.
Dozens of others areas.

The who will and who won't use body scanners


The constant debate of  using body scanners is changing day by day....Today France announced it will use body scanners at some of its airports, initially to search passengers flying to the United States. France also said it would tighten security measures at its airports after the failed attempt to blow up a US plane heading for Detroit on Christmas day.

Initially, a scanner will be installed at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris within the next two weeks and another at the city's Orly airport at a later date.

Washington has asked other countries to improve their aviation security technology after the failed attack highlighted US intelligence and security faults.

Canada, the Netherlands and Britain have said they plan to use body scanners. Italy is considering them and Nigeria, the country of origin of the man who tried to blow up the Detroit-bound flight, will install them.

The debate over privacy concerns likely to impede body scanners in Europe


Britain's government wants to quickly deploy full body scanners at U.K. airports to fight an expanded terrorist threat. Amsterdam's Schipol Airport plan a major expansion for use to screen U.S.-bound flights. In Germany, officials said the scanners would only be considered once privacy concerns are resolved. In France, lawmakers discussed the scanners in 2008, but the idea of deploying them was dropped after privacy concerns were also raised.

The issues range from general rights of adults to fears that children may be exploited. Some say the machines cannot be allowed because they can clearly show a child's genitalia when a boy or girl walks through the airport scanners

Privacy campaigners and children's rights groups say the technology, now being tested at Manchester Airport, violates British and European law by producing sexually explicit images of children.

Ian Dowty, UK legal adviser to Action on Rights for Children, said he believes it would be a criminal offense to operate the scanners or to direct anyone to operate them if they are used to produce images of children under the age of 18.

"If anything produces an indecent image of anyone under 18, that is unlawful and is in fact a criminal offense," he said. "As we've seen on the Internet, these machines clearly show genitalia that in our view must result in an indecent image by any definition."

Others, including a British lawmaker, have said the machine would not have been useful in spotting the explosives intended for use over Detroit. "The machines amount to little more than gimmickry, and the government is going to face a huge legal obstacle," said Simon Davies, director of Privacy International. "It can't identify a substance, it can only identify an abnormality, and the rest of it is human judgment."

At Amsterdam's Schipol Airport the scanners in use there differ from the ones being tested in Britain, and officials say they are being fitted with software that addresses privacy concerns by projecting a stylized human figure onto the computer screen rather than using the actual body image of the person being scanned.

So, the question remains will the privacy issue slow down or deter the use of full body scanners or will airports revert to the profiling system used effectively in Israel……Because it is quite clear privacy concerns and fears that children and adults may be exploited seem likely to slow the plan.
