Spoke to friends who live in belgium and saw this on the news last night. It seems that the tax system is crippling (approx 55%) and so anyone who can goes somewhere else asap. It seems that they are already 50 pilots short and more are leaving. Should be fun to see if the government does anything about, especially seeing as there currently is no proper government in belgium at the moment seeing as they recently had elections. Also beurocracy in belgium is notorious and any changes in the law will take a long time to happen.
