Thanks for the clarification. I assumed it was the pilots on strike.
Staff was pretty chatty and indicated they were staying open. All LH flights out of IAD were cancelled, so it was surreal-ly quiet in the lounge. Instead of bursting at the seams, there were 3 of us in the Senator lounge and the downstairs Business lounge was cordoned off completely.
