What can't be what? The industry that employs the professionals on this forum has made it very simple for
un pur-sang Français to outsource himself and his business to a friendly neighbouring country. In fact, the two go together - the more reliable the route (so not LoCo, obviously) the easier it is for French entrepreneurs to opt out of their obligations to Marianne.
If you think that's not already happening, accelerating year-on-year, I'll happily point you towards several companies within my area (
not adequately served by the aviation industry) who are pressing ahead with these kind of plans in anticipation of a service that meets their needs.
National economic policy in France has been decided for years by the cosy élite of the left-right
énarques and the union leaders. This action against FR is more than a simple industrial dispute. Look where it's happening: not in Paris like the easyJet/CityJet affair, but Marseille.
Front National heartland. Who's heading the polls in France at the moment?
Le Front National. Marine Le Pen is on the campagne trail for 2017 already, while the UMP can't even elect a leader and the PS is fighting Leroy Merlin, Castorama and other over
creating jobs because they're at the wrong time of day, or the wrong day altogether.
What you have in Marseille is a very powerful coincidence of interests between the private sector and a strong political force. There's a lot more at stake here than whether or not Rsi gets its money.
