From the RTE News website. . .Ryanair look hardest hit.
Flight delays due over French strike
27 March 2006 19:56
Delays and cancellations on flights to and from France are expected tomorrow (Tuesday 28 March) as a general strike gets under way.
Ryanair said this evening that it has been forced to cancel the majority of its flights into and out of French tomorrow because of a strike by government and trade union workers.
The strike will affect all flights out of Dublin and Shannon to France. It also affects all Ryanair flights from France to Ireland.
Passengers seeking information have been advised to check the Ryanair website for details on rebooking and refunds.
An Aer Lingus spokesperson said the airline planned to operate a full schedule of flights but warned that that delays were anticipated. Passengers are advised to check with the airline tomorrow morning.

how many times have you got to be told by the trolly dolly (or donald) thatapple sourz wrote:AIR STRIKES - bring your own oxygen!!
"in the event of an unexpected drop in cabin pressure an individual oxygen mask will be dropped from the panal above your head. Pull sharply on the mask to start the flow of oxygen and fix the mask as the crew are now demonstrating. Those travelling with young children are asked to fix their own masks before helping their children"
So the planes do have a supply of oxygen for your use.
What amuses me more is the comment "In the unlikely event of the aircraft landing on water..." as if it could!!

But could the wings and tail could break off without impacting in the passengers?Uncle Mort wrote:There are a number of possible ways of defining 'landing' but I'm sure we agreed that the plane staying in one piece is fairly necesssary - even if it's not the right way up!!apple sourz wrote:Well it depends on how you define 'landing'

at 150 knots IAS (that's indicated airspeed - and an attempt to appear that I have technical know how) I doubt it - surely they'd (the wings at least) go through the fuselage somewhere? No - I don't think that a jet airliner will ever land on water.
