Putting D.A.T. back into business by the Belgian government and their associates is more a morale booster than it is long-term solution for everyone involved. Don't forget that D.A.T. is now operating on government money for at least one month untill possible investors will make a decision whether D.A.T. is worthwhile to operate. This scenario gets the heat off for the politicians for the time being. Sadly for those that have their hopes raised, they might be in for a chilling shower. A stand-alone D.A.T. with a bolted-on long-haul operation to satisfy the Sabena gang isn't a solution that fits the needs of the market. Conclusion: 3 months down the road, D.A.T./Air Belgium will have to reimburse government funding of 5 billion BFR and no investors ready with the cash!
