CEO is a Mr. Vastapane who isn't that popular at the moment
if I understand rightly.

Airplanes are grounded until at least Friday.

DCA flight yesterday out of Amsterdam was being flown
by Air Holland. Sobelair fight was cancelled.

Azzurra Air out of Bergamo is making an offer for
what is left of the company but they seem to be
in financial trouble themselfs so it is wait and see
at the moment. Curator is making up his mind if
it is a geniune offer.

Sabena Technics are now also in deep trouble.
They had big problems beforehand but if they lose
Sobelair it might tip them over also.

Sad news.
