First of all a happy new year to all of you!
As to the New Sabena topic-
I don't know if Sabena will be relaunched on January 6th, it could be a few days later. Yes, everything is possible in Belgium as Guvnerd keeps on telling us...what a fantastic publicity slogan you gave us there, BTW!
It is certainly much more then just a rumor, because during a New Year's party I've heard from several people involved that (part of) the old Sabena cabin and cockpit crew have been invited to sign contracts with New Sabena starting from January 15th. People rejoining (New) Sabena can also transfer their seniority from the old Sabena to the new company.
Seems that if Sir Richard really wants to join New Sabena (and it sure looks like it), he'll have no option but to give up VEX and all that it stands for.
