EasyJet France pilots announce strike over schedule changes

Pilots at EasyJet France plan to strike on September 13 and 14, according to the French pilots' union SNPL. The union filed a strike notice after several months of unsuccessful negotiations with the airline.

The dispute centers on frequent changes to duty schedules. The union says individual flights can be changed up to ten times the day before operation. Pilots want rules similar to those granted to cabin crew, who received five days per month without schedule changes and compensation for last-minute modifications after a dispute in August.
