Lufthansa Airlines, here they go again

Yep, Lufthansa's going on strike again, this time it's the cabin crew. No date set. Can't recommend enough that you don't book with this airline, expensive and unreliable. Find another airline. (Not AA!)

France nationwide strike, misery again for 3/19/09

Are you by any chance going to France this month? Change the date if it's on 3/19/2009. Nationwide general strike called by eight unions. Some Air France will be flying and some international trains will be running. Even so, a real pain. See www.easytravelreport.com for the latest.

American Airlines are going to screw us again!

3/1/09 American Airlines pilots, will not strike, but they will disrupt and cause chaos to the airline, if it can't get a new labor contract after 29 months of bargaining! Negotiations have fallen apart, but before a strike can legally occur the federal mediators assigned to making the deal work must declare the talks at a standoff. Parties have been in mediation since June 08. The union hopes that by taking a no-strike stance, it will increase the chances that the National Mediation Board (shall we say threaten board) will declare the talks at a standoff and let the union take less dramatic steps allowed by law. Mediation could go well into 2010 affectingly putting a halt to any strike.


Without a release from mediation, any strike action the union...
