yes, gentlemen - I agree with you all, what could I say more? In my mind they should be fired, all of them from the ATC union - but you know, it's unfortunately a big problem we have in our country, all those "transportation strikes" (railways, metro, buses..and ATC is just part of the big show)
Many irate french people will quote Mrs Thatcher, Mr Reagan or the Aussies in the past for knowing how to deal with an excessive strike - because yes, french people too are suffering from those actions.
Once again, some of the previous comments were a little bit outside the scope of ATC problems.
And military traffic in France? yes, like flight test traffic it's outside the scope of civilian ATC, they hate it and would like to take it over (to create more nuisance with future strikes ?)
Like it or not, that's the way it is - but it's related to history, and also dealing with decent Air force, Fleet Air Arm and Flight Test centres... anybody up to the challenge?
