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.
