i think you’ll find the strikes over wages were at a time when AF was actually making money. Both companies are profitable however the Dutch side enjoys a more business friendly environment.

A previous poster implied that only the Dutch side made efforts during the recession. Completely false - in fact it is quite the opposite. 10000 job losses in AF and near zero growth for many years (While KLM grew significantly)

The comments about the French being lazy etc are I must say unhelpful... cheap shots that lead nowhere imho.
