My pilot today announced that we were avoiding flying over France "because they are strike again". I guess this means ATC was on strike?

I can't imagine why else we would have avoided France due to a strike.

Responses:

Not sure. I flew through CDG a few weeks ago the day of a general strike, and our flight in was delayed but not cancelled. Flight out left on time. -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 18:20 1
- there are so many strikes on the Continent, it is hard to keep track. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 18:21
ATC controlers also have pensions at some time -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 15, 18:13
wow, didn't know that. The french are ... different. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 17:59 12
- I know there's been a lot of striking there (a lot even for France) lately, I just couldn't place why this would affect us - ty97 Oct 15, 18:01 11

      - vn googling! I guess it is not illegal for them to strike, as it is in the US. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 18:15 4

        I want to formally state that my people cut ties with France in the 1700s. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 18:22
    - I don't think they have that type of discretion. - TWuG Oct 15, 18:12 2
      - this is FRANCE. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 18:16 1
