Caught On Tape: Furious French Workers Attack Air France Executives, Rip Their Clothes Off
Earlier today amid the general gloom of Europe's sliding non-manufacturing PMIs, the one place that stood out like a sore thumb bucking the deteriorating trend, was France which not only posted an increase from August but also beat expectations.
We strongly doubt this metric has any basis in reality because among numerous other contrary-specific factors, Bloomberg reported that as part of Air France’s long-running spat with workers over cost cuts, violence erupted earlier today as protesters stormed a meeting where managers were presenting plans for 2,900 jobs cuts, causing executives to flee with their clothes in tatters.
According to the report, human resources chief Xavier Broseta and Pierre Plissonnier, the head of long-haul flights, scaled an eight-foot high fence to escape, shielded by security guards, with Broseta emerging shirtless and Plissonnier with his suit shredded.
Casting some serious doubt on the service PMI "recovery" is that the attacks happened Monday as Air France told its works council that after the failure of productivity talks with pilots last week some 300 cockpit crew, 900 flight attendants and 1,700 ground staff might have to go. The cuts could include the first forced dismissals since the 1990s, according to the carrier, which subsequently postponed the meeting.
The company, unhappy with the terrible publicity that the photos and video clips presented below will unveil about the corporate culture at Air France, promptly tried to downplay the incident, saying in a statement that "these attacks were made by isolated and particularly violent individuals as the demonstration by personnel on strike was going on calmly," adding that a complaint had been filed for aggravated violence. We expect many more complains will be filed before the latest surge in anger at the upcoming layoffs dissipates.
It's not just bad news for up to 3,000 soon to be unemployed workers but for Boeing too, which may be about to see the first scrapping of Dreamliner orders:
Under the savings plan announced today, Air France’s fleet would be reduced by 14 jets, with orders for Boeing Co. 787s scrapped and aging Airbus Group SE A340s phased out. The Air France-KLM Group unit indicated there was scope for compromise should unions come forward with serious savings measure.
Air France said last week it was planning cuts to jobs, jets and routes in the absence of a deal with pilots, who had been asked to work more hours for the same pay to help end annual losses that began in 2011. Government ministers had urged the sides to continue talking so that jobs could be saved.
The upcoming layoffs were once again blamed almost entirely on events in Asia: "The changes would require a shrinking of Air France’s network, with a reduction in frequencies and more sweeping seasonal capacity cuts next year, following by the termination of some routes in 2017, especially to Asia, where competition is toughest. Frequencies to 22 destinations would be affected."
Expect more outbursts of violence and even more profits for tailors in Paris, confirming the Keynesian "torn suit fallacy", because the job cuts are said to be implemented around mid-December at the earliest, or just in time for the holidays.
Meanwhile, this is the outcome as the anger of several thousand French workers finally spills over.
And roll the tape:

THIS HAS TO GO VIRAL ON YOUTUBE. THIS HAS TO GO VIRAL ON ANY AND ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.
THIS GODDAM BETTER BE SHOWN ON THE NETWORKS AND PROPERLY COVERED IN THE MAINSTREAM PRESS.

BECAUSE THIS COULD BRING ABOUT THE TRUE LIFTOFF. (THE LIFTING OFF OF OUR CHAINS AND NOT THE BS INTEREST RATE LIFTOFF FROM ZERO). !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the bold caps, but this is exhilerating and can actually be the impetus for something.
I was hoping to see some nice french titties.
"I was hoping to see some nice french titties."
Oh yeah? Watch any Bardot film but when it comes down to titties being shoved in your face nothing and no one beats "Femens":

Bravo!!
Somewhere, Dick Fuld is shuddering.
Dick Fuld isn't shuddering. All the Lehman employees left their offices in an orderly fashion carrying their cute cardboard boxes and of course paid their own taxi fare home. Just like all the Enron employees.
Dick Fuld's shirt is just fine, just fine. US has lost all sense of justice and instead you all sit around armed to the teeth for some inter-galactic invasion while your lives mean nothing to the Corporations which are robbing you blind. Hope you like cat food...
more likely laughing his ass off sipping some umbrella drink on an island somewhere.
That's am act of Terrorism in the U.s.
because the gov wants to keep us 'safe' .... like Sir Lawrence Olivier drilling into your front tooth nerve ending without anesthesia.
Vive la guillotine!!!
The French don't fcuk around.
It's the Americans who are the real pussies.
Wouldn't say "Boo!" to a banker if their life depended upon it - which BTW it does.
The americans just sit around in tents and smoke dope in Idle Some More protests
Fuckers forgot the pitchforks and torches and had to make due. I suspect they will be better prepared soon.
Holy Shit Im starting to warm up to the french.
I had a french lady try to rip my clothes off over the weekend, but I dont think it is connected...
Try? You're not gay are you? It's okay if you are, I'm totally cool with that. Just checking. If you are gay just send her my way and I'll let her.., unless she's ugly. If she's ugly forget about it.
HAAAAA!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!! SHOULD BE MORE OF THAT IN THIS COUNTRY!!!! FUCK YOU!! BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Move along goyim, nothing to see here.
I guess they didn't want to eat cake.
Nice spin, truth is the revolution orgy of theft......never ended
william b7 , photo shop these pics, with our favorite heads, ben, janet, obuma, dimond, you get the picture, pun intended..this should give you plenty to work with your genius.
For all the truncing on the French with their white flags.....
Showing more balls than anywhere over here in the US. Going after the right people, Not a school or random shooting.
(maybe it has something to do with the MSM?)
Maybe it has something to do with the less important your balls get, the more important your guns and fantasies get?
Flabby executives. Good times.
Flabby executives with nice tans after the weekend jaunt to the riviera on the corporate jet.
mfw French media label this guy as being "raped" ...
What do they expect ? they are just blackmailing the workers, which are btw pretty pissed off that.
Bear the consequences.
New version of french can can...
I prefer the one with the gals and their naked legs.
This is still my favorite ;)
Vive La France!

And has there been even ONE anti-Bankster physical action - even, say, throwng a turd in the lobby of Goldman Sachs - in The United States Of Imbeciles ? LOL!! Oh man!
I doubt those images will be broadcast widely lest workers elsewhere get some ideas as to how to act in future.

Newsflash: cheese-eating surrender monkeys riot for more welfare.
How is that bonus workin out for you now bitch?
i wonder what will happen to bernanke
Maybe he'll be visiting France when the mobs are head chopping.
He'll be sipping umbrella drinks on an island like the rest of em
What's a French worker?
About 10 hours of pay for one hour of actual work.
don't even get me started on the French. a few years ago i was @ the PARIS airport, i got a bottle of COKE @ one of the food places. the young lady serving handed me a small glass with ONE ICE CUBE in it for my COKE. Very politely, i asked for more ice. The young lady slid the glass back to me & said, "NO!" i've been to France once, & i did find it pretentious. i like the Middle East better, will never go back to Europe again.
I had just the opposite luck. I was sitting at a sidewalk cafe having a beer and some snacks. All the othr tables were taken. As I was finishing an older couple came by looking for a table and I signaled that I would be leaving. The owner came over and insisted that I stay, he went back into the restaurant to get a table and chairs for the couple and then gave me a complimentary beer and snacks.
For every shitty story I've heard about the French, I've enjoyed about ten like this. Of course, you have to not be an asshole yourself.
And good job on that, Lfw! Righteousness all around--like you'll experience in every culture I've ever been in, including French.
Of course, in the US you'll usually have to take the initiative to be an inspired salesman yourself in order to sell it to the waitress, who then takes it to the manager, whom you have to then be willing to talk sense to, but usually it works out. People do wanna find a way to being cool. Normal people everywhere.
Why is it so organic in other countries, though, I wonder?
French are rude in Paris but you can say the same about people in any really large city in Western Europe. I have family that live outside Marseille and I have always found it pleasant to visit them with the French people very courteous as long as I did not behave like an American tourist - loud, obnoxioius, poorly-dressed, and overbearing.
Nice to see you out here lb. Hope all is well with you.
Q: "Does anybody think there is any chance of this happening in the US?"
A: "How could it not?"
That guy with the grey hair...
His hair is still fucking perfect afterwards.
Nothing to see here, literally.
Nor a scratch on that white skin. Fingernails do tend to leave a mark. This shit staged or what?
Reports are that he had a very becoming up-do, which was tragically mussed up by this degenerate crowd.
I wonder if the Air France CEO and top executives were at the recent Monaco Yacht Show. You know, while planning these layoffs.
Because if not, they lost out on the opportunity to marvel at and purchase the world's finest yachts, complete with the world's most extravagant interiors as designed by only the globe's finest. At minimum, they could have met with one of the brokers available to at least arrange a rental so that overworked executives could maybe gather for a week or so to luxuriate and alleviate the work stress that they are constantly subject to.
( i don't believe any typical employees such as those subject to layoff were present ).
Having flown Alitalia (now owned by Air France) last summer I know one place they're saving money - food. Just awful. Really not even edible.
You'd think that would be one damn thing they could do right. But no.
The French Labor Force sure has done itself a favor. I'm sure companies the world over will just be lining up to hire a workforce known for lazines and prone to violence.
Throw the thugs in jail and replace their sorry asses with immigrants and refugees. Bunch of fucking blow hard over-sized school bullies that need their asses kicked. Big tough mob. I have an idea, go fucking get some real skills and get a new fucking job dumbasses.
Milton Churchill
Wish Americans would drop some balls........
too many still believe the political system somehow serves the people's (or nations') interests.
.
SIMPLY. F'ING. AWESOME.
Anyone remember the shit they heaped on the guy who LOL at buying the tire company?
Think he knew something?
Bullish for Hummers and Bodyguard services.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
If Americans could get their hands on Bernanke, we'd turn his perfectly groomed beard into mutton chops.
It's always the unions that flush their children and grandchildren down the drain. Union Thugs = Shit for brains.
Milton Churchill
Eat the Rich, they taste like chicken.
FYI , many of these guys are making between 155 and 200k a year....in euros
Well within the infamous 1% richest on earth
Maybe they could start eating themselves too.
There needs to be more of this. The ruling elite need to realize that they are playing with a playing with fire around a powder keg of frustrated 99%ers. (99.99 is more realistic).
When the world economy dumps and SHTF, those 99% are going to be BEGGING for any type of job. Who do you think they are going to go beg for a job? Their out of work neighbours? The completely broke government? Look at Greece......
that scenario is what the bankers use to justify a war so their tracks are covered over by the national traumas
Sadly,,, imagine what would be said if American unions (private not gubbermint) did this.
The demonization would be never ending.
has the demonization ever stopped?
besides French Cooking, another great thing about France
The lurch toward third world behavior rocks!
Time we did this to politicians .....
Where are the pictures of this happening at 200 West St. (Goldman) in NYC?
Would never happen in America.
Probably cause the useless, do nothing employees would have been shit-canned years ago. Seriously, have you flown Air France?
Never be the one who tries to take the crack pipe away from the crack head.
So, when was the last war that France won? Maybe that's the problem, need to get these tough guys out on the front lines.
Just wait what will happen to Merkl and Gabriel once the population finds out that the entire refugee 'crisis' was planned long in advance and that she essentially committed treason by following the instructions of the int. banking cartels.
But she probably already knows that and has supposedly already purchased a nice retreat over in Paraguay. Anybody here aware that a part of her family history has finally been revealed? She is actually part Polish and part Jew.
DUPE
Air France is the WORST airline EVER. Horrible customer service. Lazy, rude employees. They should fire the whole lot.
Air France is just fine. Polite stewards, fun, you just aren't used to be treated as an intelligent human being any longer because you are probably from the US.
Yeah, that's it...... Try lazy POS socialist slugs with bad attitudes and worse manners. Now Virgin, thats a good airline. Top notch service.
Never had a virgin but always wanted to try. Is it cramped in there? LOL
God damn if those were bankers and politicians it would be even better (and guillotines)
I like this new fashion. Punk's not dead. Better than Vivianne Westwood.
Jackie and Dunlap express America's outrage over the AIG bonuses in their interview with one of the most hated men in America... Shimmysham the AIG Dummy.

Aren't the planes going to fly themselves just like self-driving cars?
At least the euro's know where to direct their anger. ;)
They're targeting the wrong targets. What do they expect in today's economy? It's those running governments around the world, idiots. They are the true robber-barons.
Oh no sir, the robber-barons BUY the governments, or at least they think they can - and they do quite well.
VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.

I won't disparage the French. We had a FFL Captain in my Ranger class, and he was a very good soldier. Without French support, our revolution wouldn't have been quite so easy. I'm thankful to France for that. However, I largely consider that debt to have been paid in, in full, with WW1.
I'd have no problem whatsoever, fighting alongside with French troops, in combat, and in particular the FFL.
FFL= Imperialist assassins
yep same here. A french family took my Dad into their home and fed him when his P51 was forced to land at some remote airport in France near the alps in WWII. And France sold us the Louisiana Purchase for a mere $15 million.... what a great deal! What comes around, goes around.
While vacationing in St Martin a France Air 747 arrived and the only luggage on the plane was the flight crews due to a slowdown. You know the Captian was well aware they were departing without luggage. Took a week for the poor folks to get their luggage. What a sorry excuse for an airline and union.
Wait till France introduces H1B visas.
Looks like a walmart on black friday selling a fucking tv for $30.00 off.....................maybe they can take him home and hang em on a wall to take out all their frustration for not stading up to the system prior to all the fucked up shit that is currently going on leading up to the collapse that will bring in the New World Order..............can I get some RFID chips to go with all those nutcases
.Maybe they can come to the US and get jobs with the TSA.
If only the sheeple of Fuck Yea! ameriKa had balls like this.
Freedom fries anyone?
Oh this is my kinda party
I loved what Ronald Reagan did with the Air Traffic Controllers.
He fired almost every single one of them, over 11,000 out of 13,000 in all, and then they rehired only the ones they wanted. Without the union....
Let's face it: by the time all this worldwide crises BS ends, we'll all be grinding our own wheat at home between a couple of rocks.
Those gluten-free guys are gonna have a hell of a time picking it out of their sourdough.
Socialism at work. Hollande's solution: give all the workers raises, increase airfares, moar taxes, moar confiscation, print moar money, and watch the whole house of cards come down.
Bunch of queer euroweenies.
Hey, the world is awash in poor people .... what makes "workers" think they're so special .... run the numbers .... if you are a privileged white European .... you should open your own business ..... pay taxes .... and learn to hate socialism ?
Oh contrare - little news blip on my elevator ride said WORLD poverty is at an all time low, less than 10% of world population making less than something like $1.93 / day.
What loads of crap the 6 media companies feeds us.
Tyler, is there anyway you can block someone who spams more than say 100 comments on any one thread? Just asking. Someone seems MAD at the world.
In the first video he was taking off his own shirt.
What's clear is that the ruling class will provide their own rope with which they wish to be hung, in the form of finest silk old school neckties.
I haven't played monopoly for a few years, but as I recall when the game was over, there was one guy sitting there with all the money and property, and everybody else was bored and pissed off, sitting there looking at him smirk.
Well...if we were so inclined, we'd choose who would be the banker and start the game over again.
Has anyone ever actually finished a game of Monopoly?
Monopoly Endgame
If your opponent scoops up Boardwalk, Park Place, North Carolina Avenue, Pacific Avenue, both utilities, the four railroads, and the other properties on the board --- that’s it, the game’s over.
The other players, who were once let’s say “middle class” property owners, will go bankrupt as they are forced to pay higher and higher costs for rent and services, utilities, and transportation. Eventually, one player has all the money and the losers are left standing out in the cold.
But what if the Monopoly game didn’t end there?
What if the once-middle-class-but-now-broke players kept rolling the dice and kept going around the board, using their credit cards and lines of credit to stay in the game?
While they’re running up massive personal or small-business debt, the monopolist who owns everything is finding it harder and harder to collect income from the increasingly impoverished once-middle-class-but-now-broke players. They can’t afford to pay rent, they can’t afford to pay utilities, and they can’t afford to ride on the railroads.
Eventually, when the consumers run out of both cash *AND* credit and can no longer spend any money, even the monopolist goes broke!!!
Then, not only is the game over for the impoverished once-middle-class-but-now-broke players, but it is over for the monopolist.
In the real world, this is a description of a *CRASH*.
This is remarkably similar to how real-world economics works when it is deprived of a stable middle class.
Did you know? The board game of Monopoly was invented when America’s Gilded Age was in its final death throes. The game’s inventor, Lizzie Magie, named it “The Landlord’s Game.” But as she said “It might well have been called the ‘Game of Life,’ as it contains all the elements of success and failure in the real world, and the object is… the accumulation of wealth.”
Lizzie was a Georgist (one who follows the teachings of economist Henry George), and she believed that things found in nature, particularly land itself but also things like mineral wealth, are part of the commons (owned by the people) and thus should really be owned by “we the people,”… and NOT by private profiteers.
It was an ideology directly born out of the times --- The Gilded Age --- when Robber Barons used monopolies in steel, oil, rail, and finance to dominate the American economy. They built vast fortunes by owning all the stops on the Monopoly board of America, while working people’s conditions collapsed to the point where we went into the Great Depression.
Carnegie, Astor, Rockefeller, Morgan, and a few dozen other recognizable names built massive monopolies while ruthlessly destroying any upstart that dared try to compete. There was big money to be made in post-Civil War America, now crisscrossed by the railroads. America’s GDP doubled, growing at the fastest rate ever!
But that wealth didn’t trickle down; they’d mastered the game of monopoly.
The rest of America was going bankrupt.
In the census of 1900, per capita income was less than $5,000 annually in today’s dollars. And more and more Americans who were once self-employed had their lives uprooted and were thrown under the juggernaut of the Robber Barons.
In 1850, prior to this so-called Gilded Age, most Americans worked for themselves. But by 1900, the majority of Americans worked for someone else--- in many cases--- the monopolists.
In his 1888 State of the Union address in which President Grover Cleveland said “the citizen is… trampled to death beneath an iron heel,” He also called out the *Corporatist Corruption of Congress* by the Robber Barons.
“We discover that the fortunes realized by our manufacturers are no longer solely the reward of sturdy industry and enlightened foresight,” he said, “but that they result from the discriminating favor of the Government and are largely built upon undue exactions from the masses of our people”.
President Cleveland’s 1888 reality was our most prominent Founding Father’s worst fear. On December 20, 1787, Thomas Jefferson wrote to James Madison about his concerns regarding the first draft of our new proposed Constitution, namely that it didn’t include a Bill of Rights and, in particular, it didn’t include a “restriction of monopolies and corporations”.
And this is why Lizzie Magie invented that early version of what we today call the board game of Monopoly. It was her hope, and that of many, that the stranglehold of the monopolists of the era could somehow be broken.
She said, “Let the children once see clearly the gross injustice of our present… system and when they grow up, if they are allowed to develop naturally, the evil will soon be remedied.”
Early on, even before Parker Brothers acquired the patent on Monopoly, turning it into the game we know today, well-to-do college students would play the game in fraternity houses at the behest of economics teachers. The game was meant to answer a question about the current economy.
An early instruction manual for the game in 1925 reads, “At the start of the game every player is provided with the same amount of capital and presumably has exactly the same chance of success as every other player. The game ends with one person in possession of all the money. What accounts for the failure of the rest, and what one factor can be singled out to explain the obviously ill-adjusted distributions of the community’s wealth which this situation represents?”
It was a similar question asked by Henry George. George was the author of the book Progress and Poverty, in which he sets out to answer a fundamental question of the Gilded Age: Why are so many people living in poverty while others are getting so rich in an expanding economy?
George writes in Progress and Poverty, “The present century has been marked by a prodigious increase in wealth producing power,” Yet, working people were not sharing in these gains.
“We are coming into collision with facts which there can be no mistaking,” George writes. “From all parts of the civilized world come complaints of industrial depression; of labor condemned to involuntary idleness; of capital massed and wasting; of pecuniary distress among businessmen; of want and suffering and anxiety among the working classes.”
He goes on, “Some get an infinitely better and easier living, but others find it hard to get a living at all. The ‘tramp’ comes with the locomotives, and almshouses and prisons are as surely the marks of ‘material progress’ as are costly dwellings, rich warehouses and magnificent churches.”
America was split in two. Not between North and South, but between the Robber Barons and everyone else.
Eventually, the nation learned the lesson that not only is the accumulation of vast amounts of wealth in the hands of an elite aristocracy not good for the working people, it’s also not good for economies as a whole, which is exactly what the game Monopoly should teach us.
But first, it will take a horrific crash. And that crash is near. We are simply nearing the end of another round of the game of Monopoly that has already been played out so many times before in this country of ours.
The period from the 1870s through the late 1890s, when the monopolists came out of the Great Crash of 1857 and the Civil War… in which they were still in power, were the longest, deepest, and most brutal Great Depression in American history, which was actually FAR WORSE than what our grandparents, and our mothers and fathers experienced in the 1930s. And at the same time, the rich got richer in a way that wasn’t seen until *today*. America in that era more resembled Victorian England than that idealistic, egalitarian society envisioned by our revolutionary Founding Fathers.
The peak of that crisis was the crash of 1893.
A fifth of American workers lost their jobs. And countless lost their savings, too, as more than 150 national banks failed alongside more than 170 state banks and 177 private banks. It was the worst economic depression the nation had ever suffered.
What the Robber Barons failed to understand is that by crushing the middle class, they signed their own suicide pact as well. They destroyed their own consumers--- or their playing partners on the board game of Monopoly. And when working people hit rock bottom and can no longer afford to buy anything in the economy, then everything shut down. Everybody was out of business--- including the monopolists.
Eventually, future generations heeded Lizzie Magie’s advice in the game Monopoly. The Robber Barons were crushed during the Progressive Era of the early 1900s.
It happened again, after the exact same situation redeveloped in 1910s-1920s, when the monopolists roared back again. As a result of it, then came the stock market crash 1929, and the Great Depression of the 1930s, and then FDR rebuilt the middle class with the New Deal.
But as the cycles would again have it, we have entered another dark period and the Robber Barons (we call them “the corporatists” now) are back.
In closing, if you have the board game of Monopoly in your house, maybe you could get the game out and play it with your kids and grandkids.
And maybe you should tell yourselves, and your kids and grandkids, that yes… it is only a game. But also ask, what do you think would happen if it wasn’t a game? Ask, what do you think would happen if it was the real world, with real people?
now you now why progressives need to be marginalized. they are the real threat to oligopoly economics.
All progressive libtard morons must die.
Roughly, then, what I remember happening whenever we played Monopoly for as long as we could -- the Bank ran out of money, and there literally wasn't enough money in the game to keep playing because of the amount collected by the winning player. So we literally could not go on. But nobody realized we were supposed to learn something from this. Pity. It happened enough times that a suitable explanation could have cured both my parents and my brother of Republicanism.
many times ... however it was a board game without the globalist collaborative methods of forced servitude back then. It was more local

I don't see any boobs! I was expecting boobs!!!
Boohoo hoo. Poor me. Fucking crybabies
I got laid off 4 fucking times.
Whole company went down , twice
Had to take care of my family , so i grew up some balls and started doing business on my own . It was insanely painful but
i'm still alive and kicking , even in a position to hire a few people. Come on . I understand that it feels good to take it to your boss , but then fucking what ? THEN , WHAT ?
They are just spoiled kids.
What you don't realize is these people know they are being laid off so these executives can get their MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BONUSES.
But you didn't know that, did you?
Ho please.
Why do you think anyone gets fired in badly managed , state sponsored corporation ? Why do you think i got laid in the first place ? of course its the MILLION DOLLAR BONUSES. Then - What ?
My offer still stand. Deal with it , grow a pair and start taking care of things on your own. These corporate fucks hired you , they can fire you whenever they decide. That was always the deal.
If you are too naive to understand this , that's your own fault.
You are talking shit.
I started, built... and then sold 6 businesses to people like you.
You who only saw the opportunity which I sold to you.
Other than working in a gas station, a busboy in High School and then a stint in the Air Force for four years which ended in 1971, I've never been a wage earner for my entire life you asshole.
Go phuck yerself.
Ho and btw , i never insulted you. I made my point respectfuly , and i suggested these guys should deal with it and start a business. You tell me an asshole and to go fuck myself. Well now. I guess that's true , you didn't build that.
But don't worry , i'm french , and i'm used getting insulted by socialist shitheads because i've taken responsability and started to be a man , instead of tearing off some exec shirts and cry all day.
Have a nive day comrade.
You're right. I got laid off so many times I lost count. You either learn to start a side business or you move to a different industry all together.
In this time of mergers and acquisitions, people are either going to learn to hit the ground running on a lot less money or end up in a homeless shelter.
I don't understand why anyone would get upset at your post. People in France were used to being guaranteed employment until 55 or so and then guaranteed retirement. Now those things are going away and they're not dealing with it well.
meanwhile, american labor says unions suck and they like low pay and no benefits because it is the american way to stay poor so the .1% can get richer.
Bane Air.
Seat back and tables in the uptight position.
There is a movie coming out in the next week or so (I believe) called 99 Homes epitomizing how the America is set up to reward the 1% ('the Winners') and f*ck everyone else. Watch the trailer and listen to how Michael Shannon eulogizes the elite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfttvNCIJvE
The 49% .... the government entitlement class .... has more wealth than the 1% .... much more .... and they have their boots on your neck ?
LOL. The top 1%, or more specifically the top 0.01%, control our economy and are able to influence politicians in a way that none others can. These richest of the rich are the ones who safeguard the debt-backed monetary system, who want companies to be owned and operated by and for extractive shareholders who hold no regard for the people. The "entitlement class", which is much smaller than 49%, is largely a creation of these individuals as a means of staving off revolution.
Well said, Really 20.
And the new middle class all over the world want the same things as that 49%. It's a bunch of back-biting rats in a cage, all after the same piece of cheese.
Good luck.
Air France is a shrinking, money-losing company, and it has been for a long time. A lot of airlines are making good money right now. Not AF, though.
Of course they are going to have layoffs, cancel airplane orders, sell profitable assets to focus on unprofitable ones, cut routes, etc. It's what airlines that are circling the drain do, cf. TWA, Pan Am, Braniff, et al, Pan Am being the exemplar.
Perhaps the French government will give them money extracted from profitable businesses so they can continue to lose money for longer than they otherwise would, but they suck and it's not in them to stop sucking. Au revoir.
Every country has an airline now. The competition is fierce.
And the "gliches" in their computer system that caused the crash last summer in the Alps was a dumb-ass move by their programmers, if the intent was to force wage hikes. If it was hackers, nobody is claiming it.

Wow, the world is crazy backwards now. It used to be that having your clothes ripped off was a sign of affection (unless you were being raped - but, then again, the way most of us are being raped these days does not require the pants to be removed).
When that ol Black Magic of torches and pitchforks comes a callin ya better be NOT at a meeting near the serfs. Bring it on and let's get going.
I looked around today for companies that manufacture pitchforks and torches. Their stock prices are down pretty good right now.
Don't buy the Chinese ones. They are being completely wiped out by high quailty forked goods from Mexico.
Torches of course are local craft items.
This is why the elite are building bunkers and shit lol
They know that at the end of it all all thats left for them is a noose.
Nothing that a little Zyklon B down the airshaft won't fix.
The world should have done this to bankers in 2007.
More Elephants in the Room. The role model for France (also include Spain, Portugal and Italy) is Greece. Working people in these countries can expect declining wages and living standards, high unemployment and austerity. As an added bonus, the French have their “socialist” President Hollande embarking on more wars in the ME and Africa (paid for, of course by French taxpayers).
The goal of the elite is essentially to return society to the "mean" of feudalism. Frankly speaking the living standards of the past 80 years were a mere deviation from the norm from of the past 2000 years. Well on the bright side more hot chicks(likely your daughters) will be now be up for prostitution to "serve the appetites" of the rich.
They won't have to pay, thanks to the planned resurrection of the ancient droit du seigneur.
Given the sexual proclivities of most European leaders, however, it might be the boys who have the most to fear.
Apart from that, your perception of the way the tide is rolling is correct.
According to Jim Willie, if Greece just stopped buying arms for a year, it could pay its debts. But far be it from the elite arms dealers in France, Germany and the US to agree to that!
On the other hand, if it keeps buying arms, it can invade the Euro core and loot the place buck-ass naked. I know what Alexander would do.
Believe I read that a budget was presented to IMF which included reduction in military spending, and it was rejected by IMF and told to focus on austerity, leave military budget alone.
First he'll buy a new shirt then get revenge
He is going to wear a new shirt in his coffin, you got that right. People have to survive. Cutting off the supply route (a paycheck) is a death sentence. There is no hope without a job. Elimination of the middle class will coincide with elimination of everyone in a suit by the time this scam is up.
made in China
It amazes me on here who some many people just blindly-side with management or are anti-organized labor of any fashion repeatedly. They almost mindlessly parrot the same empty jargon and slogans you would expect. Nevermind these incompetent managers will be well compensated regardless of what happens.
Thank god he didn't lose his tablet. He is clutching onto that like it's his own baby.
One day USSANS will notice that their own aristocracy are also a$$ naked......Nah just kidding. Mercans will crawl into their well deserved gas chambers gnawing on their beloved Mercan Dream till the bitter end.
Onward to FEMA....vacation centers, oh exceptional Lumpen!
And as they walk away, they're wondering "What was that all about?"
