AF strike - big effect on DL code-shares
AF cabin crew are planning to stage a strike Fri. and Sat. 40% of flights will supposedly be effected. A friend of mine was booked to fly BOS - CDG on Friday - DL called him and rebooked him for today.
Flights affected Friday (according to AF web-site)
Two of two BOS flights cancelled.
One of two AF-operated ATL flights cancelled.
One of one PHL flight cancelled.
One of two LAX flights cancelled.
One of one SFO flight cancelled.
No JFK flights affected.
Two of two ORD flights cancelled.
One of two IAD flights cancelled.
CO code-shares operated by AF:
One of one AF-operated EWR flight cancelled.
One of two MIA flights cancelled.
No IAH flights affected.
DL really has to push AF to sort their unions out. Easier said than done I know, but this happens way too often and it looks bad for DL. When's the last time DL has had a strike - or SR, SN or OS???
