AF 4 day strike

Having read all the postings, surely it is EU law that allows everyone within the EU to work until 65 as an option. Employers have to make this possible for every employee-it is the law.

What is the problem with this for AF pilots, Do they really fear the option will become something complusory? I would say that is very unlikely.

I had to retire 3 year ago aged 55 after 35 years with my company, I did not want to retire but as it was before Oct 2006 I had no option. I wish I had the options people have today, I would still be working possibly part time.

Retirement is not all it is cracked up to be, the first couple of months are fine but after that when all the gardening and decorating is finished it is a little boring.

Is it virtually impossible to find another job in France after the age of 50.
