Wildcat strike Brussels Airlines 18th November

Dear Customer,

We wish to inform You that Brussels Airlines pilots launched a wildcat 
strike

today, prompting significant flight cancellations and delays. 
Authorities said that up

to 80 percent of flights may be affected by the strike.

The pilots apparently launched the action to protest a number of issues, 
including

alleged plans to force pilots to take early retirement once they reach a 
certain age.

It is unclear how long the walkout will continue, so it is advisable to 
check

the status of your flight.
