The pilots' union, Seplar, is demanding a pay increase 3% above inflation, and compensation for a pay freeze imposed in 1995. More than a quarter of the airline's 1,000 scheduled domestic and international flights have been cancelled. The strikes are set to continue every Tuesday in June and July, and every Monday in August.
