I looked at the air France website. There is no mention of an upcoming strike. There was one planned for July that didn't happen.

Well, no, I haven't and don't immediately find any news online. What is your source?

I was on a BBC online news site. It gave the date as today with the strike happening tomorrow at 8 p.m. I read other articles about a strike postponed in July but now I'm having trouble finding this again. I think someone planted this on my computer to just add to my stress ...=]

BBC was the first news site I checked; there's nothing there. At some point in looking around, I did see an article come up with today's date at the top, but the body of the article was discussing July.

Guess that's what you get when you don't read the whole article! =[ Thanks for talking me down! We are hoping to join our RS group in Paris on Monday!!

There's no strike planned for air traffic controllers now. The last one planned was in July, and they ended up rescinding their appeal to strike even then.
