Air France pilot strike still on as unions reject offer
Add BT as a preferred source[PARIS] STRIKING Air France pilots dug in their heels on Wednesday, rejecting government calls to go back to work and new assurances from management that low-cost operations would not threaten their jobs.
The work stoppage was set to continue, grounding more than half of Air France's flights and costing the company an estimated 10-15 million euros (S$16-24 million) a day.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls told French radio: "We have to stop this strike," which he said was "incomprehensible" to most French people.
