The strike is taking effect 5AM Israel time. Most flights for tomorrow have been rescheduled.

Here is my prayers that the open Skies agreement is signed into law!

How long do these things usually last?
My Friends have a Monday night flight on LY to TLV, do they need to worry?

Another reason passengers would get pissed off at them, and switch over to other carriers...

Getting people upset at them for cancelling their flights.. Needing to bump people off the next day's flights when they stop striking, ect.

On another note, its a shame that the whole open skies situation, is only regarding europe at the moment, and not to open up more flights and competition in the USA.

Open skies will make stop overs cheaper which will have an effect on direct flights too.

ETA: Open Skies passed into law!

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel came in today, it's going to be interesting how he's going to leave if the Histadrut act up
