woolybanana Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Just a reminder that Air France ground staff are striking on Saturday the 2nd August. Both international and regional airports are concerned.It is, of course, the busiest holiday changeover day of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betty Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 and now Air France pilot's have extended their strike until the 26th September. Must be a lot of inconvenience for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 wooly, maybe you should only post about AF when they are not on strike or threatening strikes.I think I have only flown AF once and that was donkey's years ago, I wouldn't take the risk these days.

woolybanana Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 The pilots are the best paid in Europe and fly the fewest hours. They dont wanna either work harder or transfer to the low cost Transavia where they will fly more hours for lower pay (unless already on a scale when they will stay the same).If they continue in this way, Air France will go bust in a few years. They have made big strides tiwards reducing the overmanning throughout the airline but aren't viable yet. I just say to them: Remember Sabena and Swissair!

betty Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It is worrying for me as I want to make reservations for USA soon and there is not much choice from Paris especially if you are travelling with animals.I normally make the journey every year and every year there is a problem (strike) connected to travel somewhere.If it wasn’t for my pets, I would fly from the UK and bypass all this nonsense.

PaulT Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 They should look at Ryanairs pilots zero hours contracts - if AF goes bust will they be happy with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
