FRANCE - Air traffic controllers in France have gone on strike in protest at EU plans to reform their jobs. Air traffic in Europe is currently controlled by 27 individual states, but Brussels wants to merge them into 9 regional networks. Meanwhile, a sudden increase in sick leave among Spanish air traffic controllers has some people wondering if they too are protesting at the proposals.
