And I did not see anyone allowed to cut with an escort in the 75 minutes I spent in this line, either, so this is clearly not a viable option to depend on.

It is kind of funny that Belgium will only supply four people to work the outbound passport control booths at peak hours, but the airport has at least 5 people on duty just tending to this insufferable line. BRU is seriously about the most horrible airport in EU, if not the world (at least for those of us without EU passports who are entering/leaving the Schengen zone). You are better off flying to CDG or AMS and taking a train, it will be faster.
