Air France to cut 14 long-haul aircraft and 2,900 staff
“We regret that no agreement has been reached with the Air France flight crew unions. The turnaround of the company can only be fulfilled with the mobilization of all its employees. The Air France management remains available to reopen negotiations with its unions at any point. We reaffirm our determination to implement the adaptation measures vital to ensuring the long-term future of Air France and allow it to finance its growth,” Air France-KLM chairman and CEO Alexandre de Juniac said.

That didn't take long. Seems like the just announced it a couple days ago.
They all knew the 18 gas guzzlers were destined for withdrawal (13 A-340-300s, and 5 B-747-400s). The new part is they are not replacing many of them, at least with the 787's. No word on the fate of the 18 A-350s on order but you can be sure there is more than one politician on the phone to keep that program.
Well they need to protect there own over there so Airbus will not suffer any where near what Boeing will.
