Ill continue to look for more reports, please add anything you find.

Update 9 other EU countries are going to join the strike, this is going to cause a massive backlog of flights.

They do this every year it seems.

I liked the way Ronald Reagan dealt with the American ATC when they did it in the 80's.

Sacked the lot of them and bought the military in to handle things while they hired some new ones.

Latest update just come in at 11am http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22871058

hmm, hope it's sort out by the end of next week

as FAB will take on a new meaning Parker

Oops, I started a new thread about this, please just delete it for me Mods

It will do no harm debs x

Ok, thank you.

Note to self..............be more observant

since when have we taken notice of that lol

Now Ive been checking the flights to and from Newcastle, the majority of them are leaving on time, flights to France are cancelled as is one to Alicante, arrivals well they are coming but late

Been looking at plane finder and the skies are still full of planes all over EU

Yes but you can restrict them

just like air traffic control

Surely, if it ain't broke, why fix it.

Flights too and from Newcastle seem to be ok today, any reports from anywhere else I think they called it off today
