Apparently, they were supposed to be the subsidiary impacted the most, but they seem to be having just about 20% cancellations.

Currently sitting in World Club at LAX. Just saw AF flt land. Flt 69 is scheduled to depart on time today. Any idea why? This is the flight I was originally booked on. Still happy that I am flying KL.

I'm also a fan of the trains and as I have my Plat status for next year I'm leaning towards using them more. However sometimes it's a case of choosing the lesser evil....

Another favella miles from anywhere; no nearby parking (not that I've found anyway); takes an age to get to/from; bus, bus and more bus and the elevated roadway section to it jams up the entrance to all the terminal 2's causing tailbacks and delays.
All in all, an absolutely outstanding bit of planning. Oh, and a memorable customer experience (for all the wrong reasons). Throw in a strike and it's a "never forget" experience.
The Long-haul program for today, 18NOV, is definitely back to normal.
Very few cancelled flights, required to reposition aircrafts and comply with crew schedule:
Cancelled long-haul flights for today, 18NOV:
AF 12 CDG JFK
AF 134 CDG BOM
AF 192 CDG BLR
AF 332 CDG BOS
AF 116 CDG PVG

Flight 69 LAX/CDG was ultimately cancelled. Thank heavens I was re-booked on KLM. The KL flight in Biz was great!

Excellent! How is your flight doing but, I am already saw your flight tracking from LAX-AMS but, I am already sent email you from few days ago. You should read it your emails from me.
