Brussels Airlines recently found itself in some unexpected turbulence when

superstitious passengers complained about its spiffing logo.

The airline's stylised 'b' ruffled a few feathers since it comprised 13 dots:

The company said it was "taken aback by the strength of feeling", the BBC reports.

Spokesman Geert Sciot admitted: "They [passengers] said they were not pleased

with an aircraft with a logo with 13 balls because they think it brings them bad luck.

We are never surprised by reactions - but that it was that bad? It really took us aback."

Accordingly, Brussels Airlines has now added a fourteenth dot to its b, as you can see.

Expect favourable flying weather for the foreseeable future.

I know that superstition defies logic, but it's hard to resist not being superstitious about some things.

I imagine the numbers 911 will never be found on a passenger plane for a very long time.

Well, call me stupid but I love the number 13. I've lived at number 13, I've had tickets with number 13, tons of other stuff too, and here is the clincher....my wedding ring has 13 diamonds in it.

It's all in the mind people.

Charles, if I win the lottery, I'm gonna fly you out here for about 6 months and then your whole perspective will change. You'll wake up in a cold sweat because you dreamt you were still in Misery, only to be relieved your safe here in Cali. ;)
