This was certainly not fake news.. due to this ridiculous condition attached, the Dutch govt was not ready to help in bailing the AFKLM out, it was the topic of the day in the news until late afternoon when he prepared to drop it. If I remember correctly, the French govt was OK with it, but not the Dutch govt.

To me in current situation, I believe as a good management team including the CEO, if your company is suffering from this, the first thing that should be done is lead by example and take a pay cut before firing your employees.. get rewarded only after you have managed to lead the company out of the crisis even as a smaller company.

Cheers!
