Ukrainian??? I just did Frankfurt-Kiev-Almaty with them, and I can assure you:
1) never again
2) no gloves at all
3) smoking hot? You mean the airco?
4) For the rest I was in the safe hands of Miss Ukraine Overweight and Grumpy 1977

Speaking of Sabena :

http://www.lalibre.be/economie/actualit ... embre.html

Google translation (partim) :

The prosecution requested the indiction of nine defendants before the criminal court of Brussels for fraud, money laundering, embezzlement and forgery in the Sabena before its bankruptcy in November 2001.
The Council Chamber will issue a decision in Brussels on November 10 in the case of Sabena. Nine people, physical and moral, may be referred to the Criminal Court for crimes committed in the financial activities of the former Belgian airline.
Among the defendants are included the former general manager Pierre Godfroid, ex-secretaries-general in Jan Ghyssaert and Patrick du Bois, and also the auditor KPMG.
The criminal investigation was started in 2001 after two employees of Sabena had complained. After a seven-year investigation, Judge Jean-Claude Van Espen had indicted 36 persons and the prosecution decided to send ten of them in correctional. One of them, former CEO of Sabena Paul Reutlinger, has since died.

It was said before that the exhibition would not go into the end of it. It shows the nice things.

Has anyone already visited the exibition? I'm planning on going and I actually have no idea what to expect :p

[Oansis]

Yes I've been there and it's not as big as I thought it would be.. much clothes and parts of motors with some information about it. I'll be honest, I'm not that suprised, but I'm glad I saw it.

Hi,

Went to this exhibition today, nice pics, some models ( concord! ) but mostly costumes of stewardess,pilots of sabena throughout the ages .. ) but also air belgium,virgin,tea,dat,...

Nice to see but I hoped for more..

I want surely to mention that in the shop there were besides books also original posters ( 10 euro , I paid more on ebay ;( ),safety cards of B732/3/4/5 - A320/A319 and A330 / A340 .. for 1 euro , safetyjackets and leather 'sachossen' for the ladies... , tanning swimsuits ,... for those which miss the safty-cards or some posters a good idea..

And if you're on time don't forget to visit the free aircraft department of the museum of war and in this time of the year the BXL X-mas market

Enjoy !
