Brussels Airport delays again due to ATC understaffing?

[b.lufthansa]

I am on a flight to Porto, waiting with a ATC slot. Apparently ATC is understaffed again .... 1 hour delay and counting the minutes ....

At least you didn't go for the other standard reason for problems at BRU : a bomb !

Traffic delay due to using RWY 07L/R.
Check http://www.batc.be/en

Have a nice and safe flight.

What's your source for the ATC understaffing?
07's are in use, maybe that's the reason for the delay?

Best regards,

EBBU (Brussels)
Several sectors regulated due to staffing.
High delays from 1100 for the EEC (East) sector.

That Unizo reaction is about a series of strikes that the unions have announced: a "red strike" in May, a "red/yellow/blue strike" on 7th October 2016.

Forum 12 (the Luchtzak Pub) seems to be a better place to discuss those anti-government strikes, methinks.
