Hello!

Well, the Trade Unions in Greece called the flight attendants to strike because of the first may, labour day...

So, Olympic airlines has cancelled 42 flights. I think for Brussels the flights will be operated normally.

I think that's something they always do the first may. (I think...)

Bye...

Actually, it's the whole Greek Transport branch that's on strike. Reason: protest against a pension fund fraud.

My mind is probably too narrow to understand why not informed passengers and innocent tourists have to be victim of a the strike and my mind is probably also too narrow to understand this strike will undo the fraud.
