It would help if they spoke in English. I couldn't understand a word they were saying.

Not only are they violent, but inconsiderate of American viewers as well.

The French usually lay down in difficult times and wait for America. Oh yeah, we have our own issues.

Can't say ape when talking about people.

It's a trigger word.

Having to go to a meeting at Charles De Gaulle should be punishment enough

Once thou giveth thou can't taketh away.

AF will have to pay out healthy benefits for a couple of years. Nothing to see here, move along.

honestly workers should do that more often. if bosses are scared of the workers, they would be less likely to frick them over.

Connecting through CDG is bad enough. Whatever Air France does, it shouldn't impact their service negatively. It's not as if there aren't better options even among their own partners. Their staff seems friendly enough, but airlines typically suffer a lot these days when they piss off their passengers.

Why would a socialist want a job? Just let the government take care of you.

If you're a SkyMiles earner than for the love of God fly KLM through AMS and avoid Air France and CDG. AF-KLM is the parent company but the Netherlands doesn't have the ridiculous union culture that France does.

Air France has lost something like 6 billion Euros since 2008. It is not 1985 and the government (13% stake) can attempt to dictate and "protect" the workers but unless it's willing to massively subsidize the airline they're going to go the way of Eastern (the IAM union versus Eastern management--both lost).
