This is a rather unusual situation. There are strong regulations about how large the crew must be on a flight. We didn't want to break the rules so we sent this plane empty to Oslo today.

We of course hope to settle the conflict before then. Management will do what it can to avoid a strike that would affect our Easter traffic.

We have cancelled 47 flights so far and we might have to cancel some more.

We expect to cancel about 40 flights today.

One of the three stewardesses did not have the necessary qualifications to work on this plane.

We are talking about sick leaves, and that is not illegal. We think there might be a connection between the two.

We have no idea how long the strike will last.

We have normal traffic today and the prospects for tomorrow are good too.
