They don't confirm the strike. They state that negotiations are still going on and that it is too early to tell their outcome. As a precautionary measure they offer to rebook pax a few days before or after the strike at no cost.
Either the strike is cancelled at any time before 11 June, or we will know by June 10 the expected impact of the strike. It would be big as all pilots unions have joined the strike call.
It is clear that the French government is applying huge pressure on AF management to settle and some poster here believes that such a strike during the euro soccer cup is impossible, and he has a case.
I have booked all my European travel on other airlines, just in case.
