I doubt 88% of their lift is to and from the US. Workers in the EU call strikes all the time for anything and everything. A lot of the time their "strikes" are tiny part time short duration targeted job actions, which in a way is great for them. They get to disrupt the operation and pressure their company while still getting paid.

Are the AF FA's even asking us not to increase frequency or gauge? Perhaps, as is the case in many strikes, they want other airlines to pick up the pax to pressure their company? Although that would depend on how and where that particular revenue flows from those particular extra/upsided flights in question.

Are the AF pilots even being asked to sympathy strike? Would the AF FA's sympathy strike for us if asked? For their own pilots? How good is their section 1?
