We have an internal flight booked for our trip to Europe next year. It was interesting that Mrs RB got an email asking her to support action by way of a petition
"So far in 2023, there has been 64 days of ATC strikes (12 times more than all of 2022) inhibiting millions of EU citizens' Freedom of Movement.
It is unacceptable that France uses Minimum Service Legislation to protect French flights during these repeated Air Traffic Control strikes, while overflight passengers, none of which are flying to/from France, suffer all these cancellations.
This is unfair to our passengers, and we want the EU to act now to protect overflights during these strikes and the EU single market.
By clicking the button below your email address and name will be submitted to our petition and will send an urgent message to Ursula von der Leyen to protect passengers and overflights during ATC strikes."
 
Ryanair have been hammering these emails for months. I haven't seen anything similar from Easyjet/Wizz etc.

Not sure what they are hoping to achieve/influence.

We have only just made the booking , so only a new email to us. I know that we had SQ flights impacted by the strikes last year.
I guess the email raised my awareness that it is having an even bigger impact in 2023?
