A TGV train driver retires at 50. If he has at least 15 years service, he will have been earning 6000€ per month when employed. Upon retirement, he receives a pension of 4000€ per month - tax free
And where is the problem ? jealousy perhaps ? Anyway the strikes in this topic are not about trains but ATC.
As you well know, that wasn't the point I was making. It is the fact that these incredibly over-generous work practises for 'special' and government employed (including ATC) staff are paid for by other workers which is unfair and has to be stopped.
