ah mais je n'ai pas dit qu'il n'y avait pas d'avantages. Mais ca n'était pas l'objet de mon message puisqu'il me semble qu'en général une grève c'est pas fait pour remercier le patron des avantages de sa profession.😏
D'ailleurs je t'invite à lire les messages laissés par un PNC il a très bien raconté
je te mets même les deux liens
1)http://voyageforum.com/v.f?do=post_view_flat;post=1307584;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=24;
et sa proposition pour se mettre dans la peau d'un PNC (je n'ai même pas tenté ce marathon!!)
2) http://voyageforum.com/v.f?do=post_view_flat;post=1307584;page=3;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=24;
Pour les 747 les PNS se reposent sur des sièges (eh oui), sur les autres ce sont des couchette oui. Ou alors tu fais partie des rares pax pour qui la présentation physique des PNC n'est pas importante et donc le repos sur un siège, l'unforme froissé et les cernes sous les yeux ne te dérangent donc pas. Dans ce cas tu es un pax rare alors bravo!
Mais bon inutile d'en préciser le nécessité de ces couchettes tu pourras le lire sur les messages de ATOC qui explique bien son métier.
Pour les autres avantages demande aux PNC ils te le diront eux mêmes. Restauration et hôtels demande leur.
(et les tickets restos que les entreprisent proposent à leurs salariés pris en charge à 50% ce n'est quand même pas rien non plus ?)
Le duty free les passagers aussi y ont accès!!
Pour les licenciements c'est raté AF est en cours de recrutement de 3000 PNC, ils sont déjà 15000. AF n'est pas Air Liberté ou une petite compagnie, les répercussions ne devraient pas être trop importantes et le client fidèle revient toujours et personnellement ce n'est pas cela qui m'empêchera de reprendre des vols chez eux.
Ca n'est pas un métier qui me tente (pour le moment du moins), je suis myope, je ne mesure pas 1M60 j'ai les hanches un peu larges.
Mais lis donc les messages de ATOC, A340, mavieenlair ou en message privé ils pourront te donner bien plus de détails.
🙂Celà fait un moment, mademoiselle Julie que je vous lis et vous écoute.
Vous parlez très bien, je suppose que militante, c'est vraiment votre tasse de thé.
Votre jeune âge excuse votre exaltation, je suis certain que vous auriez été l'une des premières à tenir le haut du pavé en Mai 68, que dis-je plutôt à les déterrer les pavés.
Une seule chose, vous avez su parler des inconvénients de la profession, avec beaucoup de force et de détermination, et si maintenant, vous nous parliez des avantages.?
Par exemple, aux escales, le personnel est logé comment? hôtels de seconde catégorie?
restauration gratuite ou payante (en escale)?
où se repose l'hôtesse durant les vols de nuit? Assise sur un siège comme les passagers (très à l'étroit?) ou sur une couchette?
possibilité de faire des emplettes duty free donc prix raisonnable.
Et je n'ai pas suffisamment de connaissance en la matière, pour complèter la liste.
Normal me direz-vous, bien, alors avant de déclancher une grêve, qui bien sûr fera perdre des passagers à AF, et par delà même des licenciements en répercussion, ..................Réfléchissez.
Et souvenez vous A vouloir trop gagner, on risque de tout perdre. LAFONTAINE.🙁

Hello,
Since it came into force, Regulation 261/2004 of the European Parliament and Council, which defines air passenger rights, has faced fierce resistance from airlines, backed by IATA (the association representing almost all passenger airlines).
Beyond the airlines' often abusive—and even frequently bad-faith—resistance to passenger rights, IATA has been lobbying EU institutions for years, with the Council paying close attention for a long time.
As a result, the Council and the Commission have been proposing revisions to Regulation 261/2004 for years that are particularly unfavorable to passengers. The latest attempt nearly eliminated the right to compensation for delays of 3 hours or more upon arrival at the final destination.
However, since this is a regulation of both the European Parliament AND the Council, the two bodies had to agree.
But the European Parliament has always stood firm, consistently responding that passenger rights must be preserved.
After 11 years of struggle, it seems likely that we’re finally nearing the end of the match between the European Commission, the Council (the 27 heads of state or government), and the European Parliament.
Indeed, the Commission and the European Parliament have agreed on a text that will be debated again on Monday, July 6, 2026, with a vote scheduled for July 7, 2026. It’s very likely that this text, which would come into force in a year, will be adopted.
The main changes would be as follows: - Families with children will no longer be forced to pay to sit together on planes; - A flight will be considered canceled (not just delayed) if it departs more than one hour late; - Right to compensation for arrival at the final destination if the delay exceeds 3 hours (no longer "3 hours OR more"). The arrival time will be when the plane, having reached its parking spot, engages its parking brakes (no longer when the aircraft door opens); - Airlines can no longer refuse boarding or charge extra on the return flight for a passenger who didn’t take the outbound flight; - If a flight is canceled, the airline must, at the same time as informing passengers of the event, offer the choice between a refund and re-routing, and inform them of their rights to assistance and, if applicable, compensation; - The airline must, without undue delay, inform passengers of the reason; - In the case of a connecting flight, if the connection is missed and the delay at the final destination entitles the passenger to compensation, the responsible airline will be liable. This is very different from the current situation, where, under the KLM ruling, any airline operating a segment of the flight is liable for compensation. This promises more disputes that the Court of Justice of the European Union will have to resolve if two separate airlines operating segments of a connecting flight are both responsible for the delay. See this case for an example: https://retardimportantavion.wordpress.com/2026/04/18/swiss-international-air-lines-la-mauvaise-foi/ Moreover, this case demonstrates in advance another potential dispute: It could be argued that it wasn’t a missed connection since the flight was canceled before the first leg even departed. - Within 96 hours of a flight that could entitle passengers to compensation, the airline must contact them to inform them of their rights and explain the next steps. - Passengers must claim their right to compensation within 9 months. This is very different from the current situation, as Regulation 261/2004 sets no time limit. Currently, national law applies—in France, the limit is 5 years. The airline must respond within 30 days. If the airline refuses compensation on the grounds of "extraordinary circumstances," it must specify which type of case it refers to from the list in the annex of the new regulation. If the case isn’t on the list, the airline must explain what the event was, why it qualifies as extraordinary circumstances with "clear, substantial, and concise" explanations, and why it’s directly linked to the reason given. It must also declare what "reasonable measures" were taken to mitigate the issue. This is, of course, a huge change in the regulation, with the clear goal of preventing airlines from declaring just anything as "extraordinary circumstances" to avoid compensation. - If, within 3 hours of a last-minute canceled or delayed flight, the airline hasn’t offered re-routing under comparable transport conditions and as soon as possible—whether on one of its own flights or another airline’s—the passenger will have the right to arrange their own re-routing and demand a refund for the new ticket, up to 400% of the original ticket price. This is a significant improvement that would have likely prevented the case described here: https://retardimportantavion.wordpress.com/2024/01/12/reacheminement-catastrophique-droit-indemnisation-meme-circonstances-extraordinaires-2/ - If a flight is canceled due to "extraordinary circumstances," the airline will only be required to offer up to 3 nights in a hotel. This is a major change, as there’s currently no limit. Expect disputes if the extraordinary circumstances end while the passenger hasn’t been re-routed. - The price of a flight, as first displayed, must obligatorily include a cabin bag. This doesn’t prevent the airline from offering a price reduction if the passenger waives the cabin bag. This will put an end to abnormal practices, such as (just one example) Condor charging extra for a cabin bag on long-haul flights like Frankfurt (Germany)–Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic)–Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic)–Frankfurt. - Free correction of a passenger’s name if requested 48 hours before departure. Note: This can’t be used to replace one passenger with another—just to correct a typo, e.g., Dupont instead of Dpont. - Airlines’ websites and apps must include information on how to file a claim.
It’s clear that, despite a few details, these changes are very positive for upholding passenger rights. It remains to be seen whether this text will be definitively adopted on July 7, 2026, as is very likely, and, more importantly, whether IATA will encourage airlines to loyally respect these new rules or persist in their old habits.
Best regards,
