French pilots and flight attendants plan strikes

French pilots and flight attendants are reportedly threatening to strike over retirement benefits in the run-up to school holidays with Unac Union reportedly stating it was giving notice for the strike to the Prime Minister's Office and the Transport Ministry (La Tribune, 02-Feb-2011). Unac's move follows a notice by SNPL Alpa for a strike from 04-Mar-2011 through 07-Mar-2011, a school-vacation weekend.
