Your comment "Its a bit tiresome to keep getting it in the neck for the inneficiencies (sic) of others." is spot on!!!
We at London feel exactly that way about some of the activities in Brussels FMU. It is not our fault that our management spectacularly failed to provide enough staff for us to do our job efficiently but, as cited above, we regularly work ourselves to a frazzle trying to reduce delays for flights. How often we find, when we agree a plan amongst ourselves, that it is stopped in its tracks "because Brussels won't like it".
I wasn't involved in the Saturday night event, but I will ensure that those who were receive the plaudits.
