? if it concerns a french airport can you warn me in advance :manfrustrated: then i still have time to take a day of over the weekend. Dont want to end up having to load & unload airplanes again because the entire load of freight comes to Brussels Apt again. Soo not fun to spend your weekends pushing 13-15k lbs containers into a plane :p
They are not having any fun in Paris apparently seeing just now they had a big terrorist attack there yesterday. 120+ dead and almost the same amount of criticals...
