Anyone else been affected by this? Was at Rouen on Monday and to my surprise when I went to call for start up there was no answer...
I had checked the NOTAMs and while I was aware there was a strike on the general strike NOTAM had stated that individual airfields would be NOTAMed if affected. Rouen had not been and there were a number of aircraft calling up as well for zone transit/join and not getting an answer.
In the end I just started up, replanned for a VFR departure and joined in with the French aircraft announing their position in the circuit. Bit of a pain though, I checked the NOTAMs again the next day to see if it had been posted, a NOTAM was listed for absence of ATC but only for 03/04 (Tuesday) and today...no mention of Monday.
Does anyone know what they are striking about? Didn't see anything on the news.
