No, I am not a former Sabena employee, but a Belgian taxpayer who has contributed a lot to the past and present "national airline" via tax payments.

The worse of all is that SpokesmanSN simply said that the information in an official document issued by his own company is not correct and that it is a false rumour.

I regret that in Belgium we no longer have a big airline. VG Airlines has disappeared, Sobelair is in serious financial trouble and BUA was a deadborn child. There are only Thomas Cook Airlines and VLM left. Peanuts...

I just hope for the sake of those who work in SNBA (of which two of my friends, one is a first officer, the other one works at a desk) we won't have to face any social disasters. That is my sincerest hope.

There are far too many Belgian pilots and cabin crew without a job or working far away from home. All because of a management not wanting to face reality and pretending that all is going well.
