Q400

Off to Brussels for three days to be locked up in hotel conference rooms. I worked there for six months and though I like the place I'm not in a rush to go back.

Which is just as well because Brussels Airlines are never in a hurry to get me there or back.

Their fleet of Avro RJ100s have long been unreliable and today the flight was eventually serviced by a chartered Flybe Q400. I suspect the only reason the flight was reinstated, having been cancelled when I first got to the airport, is because the rest of the passengers were cabin crew.
