No way indeed. Strike is allowed in France. By the way not only the pilots but all categories of staff have called for the strike.

it seems that some 50% of long haul flights will not be flying and some with reduced crews meaning some pax kicked out. Will be a tough strike.

With the breadth of unions announcing strikes I quite frankly expected it to be worse and so I think did Air France management. I looked at some random routes yesterday where flights were listed as cancelled only to be operated today. But grim for those affected by it of course.

So, another strike is announced for 23 March.
On 22 February the strike led to a 50% cancellation of longhauls (and long delays on some others).

Boy was I dreading another strike. Luckily for me I fly to Singapore on the 21st but I hope it's not too disruptive to anyone on here. This is doing nobody any good.
