Interesting. There’s a big shortage of pilots around the world. If they don’t like it at KLM, then why don’t they simply go work somewhere else instead of joining their French collègues in hurting the company and alienating their passengers? Oh wait....because they’ll be paid less and have to work more at other airlines,

I was last in Europe in late April. AF decided to strike and cancel my flight. I'm flying in late September to AMS with KL... guess it's only fitting if they strike too...

Let's hope they do not go the AF way. At least in NL we have a long history of understanding that compromises rather than stalemates and fence-offs are the way to go. Proof of this pudding by 6 September hence.

Last time they striked, I've had the smoothest security experience ever. Here's hoping they (security) will strike again on 9th (luckily, not flying KLM this time)
