BelArgUSA,
You mentioned you were born in Belgium and it looks like you don`t think high of Belgian Aviation, Politics etc.... Well, I was born in Belgium as well and I still live there and yes, Politics are still the same (if not much worse) and yes aviation is still the same (if not worse). Fact is, trying to get out and find better places (To live and fly) is not that simple for the moment. I guess all of this must be much better in the South West somewhere. Any ideas how to get there in that paradise?

Mijn platte land...!
Love the people and the food...
Always like to visit back and enjoy a few beers -
And the rain and wind.
And the train, tram, metro or bus strikes.
Or the language wars...

I spent 6 month flying OO-SJP on ACMI to Sabena/Sobelair in 1977.
That educated me about Belgian style airline management and CAA...
Had many pilot friends with Sabena, all retired now.
My turn to retire 30 NOV... And glad I can forget airplanes...

Happy contrails

Here is a photo of the B744F on the line at Paine Field:
OO-CBC Cargo B Airlines
What happened to OO-CBA? Still grounded or has it been repaired by now.

What's up with the name on OO CBC, " NCA Artemis "?
Is Artemis Belgian for leased or owned? The aircraft was built for NCA but dry-leased to Cargo B.

NCA Artemis
Artemis is the name of the aircraft.
Greek goddess of hunting, assimilated to Diane in Roman deities.
Each NCA plane has a Greek goddess name...
A few weeks ago, I saw a NCA 747F named Andromeda taxiing by...
The Cargo B airplane is leased from NCA, but keeps its name.

It's getting even better. Crews will not be paid for Nov.,Dec and their holidays.
The tailstrike pilots are being fined - they will be trained on the new 744erf
arriving soon. This info is coming from a belgium guy who works there.
Some always land on their feet, I'd say.

Not completely correct info. During the year the crews got paid their gross salary; now it's the taxman who wants his share. Of course that takes the smile of the face of those guys who spent everything

a captain friend of mine with the company mentioned that cargo b pilots are paid by a holding company in luxemborg and are subject to luxemborg taxes (as low as 12% for some guys with wives, kids etc..) which is very curious when most of them live and fly out of brussels? Not sure how the belgium tax people feel about this
? Nice deal if you can get it?

Nippon Cargo Airlines is to take a 15 per cent stake in Cargo B for around 3 million Euros and the other major stake holders are pumping in another 4 million Euros.
NCA and Cargo B will also operate interline agreements on Asian and South ASmerican routes.

CargoB crew contract
Thx for the info.
Wanted to Xcheck the info I received that they are being paid through CargoB services, which has it's seat in Luxemborg.
Could give problems with the Belgian tax law...
Especially now as the Belgian govenrment is looking for more tax income to compensate the economic downturn.
Wish them all the best!
