Flight attendants and cabin crew at Easyjet France have withdrawn their strike notice, but the pilots are now preparing for their own walkout. The Easyjet section of the National Pilots Union has called for a strike on September 13 and 14, 2026, over concerns about the instability of flight schedules. This comes after the airline reached an agreement with its cabin crew, who had previously staged a strike that canceled about 100 flights during the weekend of August 15 and 16. Despite this resolution, the pilots are raising similar issues, stating that no concrete solutions have been provided for their legitimate demands. The pilots are particularly concerned about the unpredictable nature of their schedules, which they say make it difficult to plan personal life, rest, and other commitments. They argue that the instability of schedules has been a long-standing issue, with the company promising improvements that have never materialized. This lack of stability, they claim, can lead to fatigue and long-term psychosocial risks, which in turn could affect flight safety. "It is common for a pilot to find themselves at the end of the month with a schedule that has no days identical to those at the beginning of the month," they explained, highlighting the frequent changes in their work schedules. The pilots are also frustrated by the fact that the concessions made to the cabin crew do not apply to them. They operate the same aircraft and work in the same environment, yet they feel treated differently. They warn that the instability in schedules not only affects their personal lives but also impacts their ability to maintain vigilance and ensure flight safety. The agreement with the cabin crew includes fixed days with inviolable schedules and compensation for changes of more than two hours, retroactive to April 1. However, these measures do not apply to the pilots. Meanwhile, another low-cost airline, Volotea, is also facing a potential strike by its pilots. Unions SNPL, SPL, and UNAC have called for a strike from Friday to Sunday, citing low wages, excessive workloads, and a lack of recognition. The airline has not changed its salary structure since 2012 and has increased the number of tasks assigned to pilots. The SNPL union criticized the company for granting itself average salary increases of 23% in 2025, while pilots have seen no similar improvements. The union estimates that nearly a quarter to nearly half of the flights could be affected by the strike, with Volotea likely relying on Spanish employees to cover the gaps.
