The aim of this action was to get noticed. The next few days will tell if it worked....
We are trying to be heard without causing damage to an already fragile industry by any means possible. I think that the airlines, pilots and passengers appreciate this kind of action more than let's say, closing down the Belgocontrol airspace.

But if push comes to shove and no dialogue is started we will have to do something else to get heard. And if that is a more conventional form of 'industrial action' then at least we have shown all the stakeholders that we tried to resolve the situation another way... (i.e. without hurting the aviation industry).
We won't apologise for trying everything possible to avoid a conventional strike.
