HeartyMeatballs. I am very cynical so I think two things:
  1. Some aircrew WILL feel pressured into departing with something (small) adrift. We are human beings.
  2. I don't think it was the boys in BRU who thought this one up by themselves. I have always thought that the legacy carriers wanted it as they thought it might level the field with regards to those on two single tickets, as opposed to them with linked through flights. It may have backfired somewhat ...
  3. I reckon that many have been surprised at the success of FR (once again) turning it around by levelling the tax and profiting HUGELY from that.
  4. I reckon that many have been surprised at the continuing demand for service in /across Europe that has become an enormous barrier due to volume and the inability of Euro nations to harmonise their act. (also know as getting their $hit together) For THAT you can blame the folks in BRU.
