A small part of the interview with the president of the BGATC was shown in the 6 o'clock journal. Probably a bigger part will be in the 7 o'clock one.

Any news on what is happening now? Has something moved following the "working for free" action (a good idea in my eyes!!) on Monday? Do we as pax still have to expect disruptions of service in the coming days? thank you to anyone with a short update.

Good to learn that the "gentle" action had some success. Now we have to wait for results of the announced meetings. Go for it, guys, and keep us posted!

For the time being, all actions are postponed for the following weeks; whatever happens next month, depends mainly on our beloved politicians. The staff has decided to give others some time now to react properly in order to meet our demands, and to give negotiations with politics a fair chance.
