Video: And the award goes to...

I don't know which ad agency was responsible for this Brussels Airlines TV commercial, but if they didn't win an award for it, they should have!

Don't worry that it's not in English. You definitely will get the message by the end of the video, I promise.



If the video does not play or display properly here, you can see SN Brussels Airline TVC on YouTube.

Although I had never seen it until today, apparently this video has been around for awhile. I notice that YouTube user vinko posted it in 2005! (So much to see on YouTube, so little time!)

I first saw the video on the Aviation Movies section of the airlinecrew.net forum. There are lots more great aviation videos posted there. Check it out some time.

New labor pact for Brussels Airlines cabin crew

A Collective Labour Agreement between Brussels Airlines and its cabin crew union was reached this week.

An article about the new agreement on Expatica said:

The reduction of the rotation period from 40 to 30 minutes on certain routes was a particular bone of contention. This new rotation time will stay in force, but in return for certain benefits, such as guarantees on income, the promise of a new assessment system and food-vouchers on European flights, emphasised Anita Van Hoof, the union representative.

The article goes on to say that Brussels Airlines cabin crew had been opposing the reduction since the airline's launch. It is not yet clear whether these actions will now be abandoned.
