Well, charlie, thats exactly what I wonder, and all belgian non sabena pilots do the same! Since so many years we are complaining about this gouvernement/political sponsored airline that never had to worry about making profit until a couple of months ago. Many of us actually think that, with such acrelss attitudes, they broke the little belgian market by forcing competitor carriers to lower prices at an acceptable level, trying desperately to compete with this loss-making-no-worries guys. So our fear remains to see this start all over again, and we can already see a bad result of what we were all frightened of: although the demand is there, nobody is planning to start an airline in here to fill the gap while foreign carriers make a drastic increase of their rotations to Brussels. A couple of days ago I saw Lufthansa come in with a A310!!! Soon there might be no airline in belgium at all... <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
