Most Dutch pilots hope it's over now. The Airline's (AF-KLM) profit over the first 6 months already has evaporated due to the high costs.
The costs of this strike has not even been calculated yet.
Going on strike is good some times and the French have it as a right in their constitution.
On the other hand the usage of the right to go on strike should be well considered.
Striking against your company which is already experiencing severe financial turbulence, while the French government is issuing the unwanted rule making makes no sense to me.
No sweat, they do ??? Well that's too bad !! Maybe you guys would care to swap your coushy 56 years old retirement along with your pension contract ??? I swear you'd never hear from us again. We'd be more than happy to let you sweat until 65.
Makes no sense to you hey ?? Well, guess what ?? Does to us !!
Toodooloo !
