    Would never happen in France. Strikes there are almost a daily occurrence.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    The french ATC are notorious for going on strike during the summer months when a lot of French people take their vacation. This stunt happens every year it seems, lasts maybe a few days, and then they go back to work.
