At a personal level, this is getting beyond a joke - a fortnight ago I was delayed in UK for 3 days by French ATC strike fortunately I could stay with friends and did not have to fork out for 3 nights in a hotel. In 5 weeks my eldest son is getting married in Spain, he lives in UK. If travel is disrupted then his and his finacee's wedding could be ruined, as no-one from UK would be able to get to Spain. We could actually get there by car!
