ATC strikes 19h00 8 May until 06h00 10 May. First wave of the strike ‘season’…
Nicely timed for the French 8 May holiday, into Thursday and possibly a ‘pont’ on Friday - followed by a weekend…call me cynical 
So tough for the poor darlings…

With this happening every year - do you think it is now just part of their annual leave?

Yep - I think you’re right Mat 
Unlikely they’ll call any strikes in July / August though as they need to go on hols themselves
‘‘The senate report found that between 2004 and 2016 they were on strike for a total of 254 days, far more than controllers in any other European country. Second were controllers in Greece, with 46 days, followed by Italy, with 37 days and Germany, with four days.’’

ATC strikes 3rd-4th July
Tomorrow’s Ryanair flights from East Midlands to Limoges and return cancelled
Thanks for relaying the news on tomorrow’s disruptions - but why the build up of the 2019 woes that, I think, is of no interest any more?
And why not?
We fly at dawn 
Aer Lingus 11:00 Dublin to Nice cancelled. Us intrepid Biggles types on the RyanAir 11:05 are still up for the sortie. Chocks away.

Went from Manchester to Béziers on Thursday afternoon. Delayed by just over 2 hours but at least I got there.
