A strike among pilots at Taiwan's flag carrier China Airlines has dragged into a fourth day, resulting in further flight cancellations.


The strike came in the middle of the Lunar New Year travel rush. About 70 percent of the carrier's 1,300 pilots belong to the union, which has accused management of insincerity and mistreating its workforce to keep costs down.
