FRANCE-AIR FRANCE-STRIKE

Air France CEO Frederic Gagey (R) visits the Orly airport on September 18, 2014 in Orly, near Paris, while the French flag carrier was forced to scrap around 60 percent of flights today, as unions rejected a fresh offer to end a strike now in its fourth day. Pilots' union SNPL slapped down as "largely insufficient" an offer from Air France to limit the operations of its low-cost subsidiary Transavia France, whose planned expansion has sparked the strike. Unions fear the company will seek to cut costs by running more low-cost Transavia flights, where pilots are paid less, at the expense of Air France operations.
