1년 전 제출됨

Some 13,000 passengers, mainly booked on flights to and from Algeria, are still stranded after France's second-largest airline Aigle Azur went into receivership, a senior French official said Monday, adding that several potential buyers had been identified. The airline, which employs almost 1,200 staff, filed for bankruptcy and suspended flights last week after losses which prompted a shareholder coup that ousted the chief executive.

There’s an old boxing phrase and it goes something like this: the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

What's interesting is that until I saw this article, I had never heard of France's second-largest airline.

How? The airline is defunct, how can they strike if the company no longer exists? You need more explanation here. A single word with no context is meaningless!
If you are referring to BA, this is a French airline and has no connection to BA.
Again, you need to be much clearer in your statement.

A lot of my UK friends worked for BA in the 1980s and 1990s and BA had the reputation of treating their employees as scu,.From baggage and ticket counter people to their most senior pilots.

I don't know anything about Aigle Azur, but I can say that our experiences with BA have not been that great.

You’re missing the point. You clearly have not heard about two British airlines that no longer exist - Monarch a few years ago and more recently, Thomas Cook. This is not just a French phenomenon. And if you like, I can name you at least a dozen US airlines than went bye, bye, too. But nice try......
