So is this really the same story as last year where the pilots are holding out for more money?

בנוסף, העובדה שטייסים נמצאים בהסבות למטוסי הדרימליינר בלונדון צמצמה גם היא את כמות הסגל שיכול להטיס נוסעים בקווים השונים.

Dan, my parents are trying to fill out the el al contact form that you linked and apparently its not allowing USA (or any variation) to be entered for country of residence. Any advice?

The headline is CNN-like. 3 weeks of quiet (thousands of flights) and 1 cancelation... "El Al cancellations continue"

Don't have an English source (yet). Essentially Israeli Airport Authority is publicly rebuking ELAL for blaming them for operational delays.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Interesting. El Al raised all the base fares by $30 from yesterday until today (even for unticketed reservations on hold). Last time they did this greedy move, there was also a series of cancellations that followed shortly afterwards. Well deserved, El Al. Already lost any potential gain from the price hike....

Any TA should be able to get the old price back.

U sure? I checked a ticket I bought for the week before Thanksgiving and it's still the same price
