All in all, CDG and AF passengers have been far, far less affected by strikes than those in the UK and Germany over the last few years.
There are strikes and strikes. In teh recent past all announced strikes by AF have been mostly general French strikes, that were hardly followed in other French sectors and had very little following among AF staff. Others were primarily affecting ORY airport. This one is specifically AF and pension issues are always very sensitive. I do not share Stimpy's optimism for this specific strike. But there is a chance that it will be cancelled to open the way to negociations.
