EVA Air cabin crew strike overshadows 787-10 delivery
A strike by EVA Air cabin crews entered its fourth day Monday, causing widespread disruptions and overshadowing the delivery of the carrier’s first Boeing 787-10. The airline, operating at around 40% capacity, has canceled more than 850 flights to date, affecting about 105,000 passengers. It also suspended all bookings until June 29 in the wake of the first labour action by its cabin crew members. The crews are demanding pay and benefits on par with carriers such as SIA and Cathay Pacific. They are requesting an increase in overseas allowance pay from TWD90 (US$3) to TWD150 per flight hour. They also want overnight rests on 9 regional round-trip routes, instead of having the same crew work both legs of the journeys. The Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union is set to hold a second vote June 29 to decide whether the strike will continue. <br/>
