This is the best summary I could come up with:

A two-day walk out at Brussels South Charleroi Airport at the end of July caused the cancellation of nearly 100 flights.

Pilots' union Beca cites unacceptable HR management as one of the main reasons for the walkouts.

Ryanair denies this, saying in a statement to Euronews Travel that it "complies in full with Belgian law, including the indexation system" and that "the pay cuts agreed during Covid have been fully restored since April this year."

"We apologise in advance to passengers planning to travel with Ryanair between now and October 2024 who may be affected by these strikes," the unions said in a press release last month.

More than 80 per cent of Ryanair's pilots took part in the 15-16 July strikes, leading to 120 flight cancellations at Charleroi Airport.

Flights to Bosnia, Croatia, France, Italy, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Sweden were affected.
