In other threads running in SLF I've seen comments on how well BA is dealing with their strike situation. As a former Gold, now Silver and almost Blue ex-frequent BA flyer I beg to differ.
I won't bore you with all the details of a take-it-or-leave-it rerouting from Monday to Sunday, losing a day of my hard earned holidays because of the cancellation of my LHR-GVA connecting flight (the long-haul flight into Heathrow was operating) - no other seats available on that day, wouldn't put me on Swiss either.
So rebooked for Sunday and even checked in for both flights. Got a SMS a couple of hours later - Sunday's LHR-GVA now cancelled. After 40 mins on hold got rebooked on following flight. So 4 hours at LHR, rather than 1hr15.
No, YATGF by BA (Yet Another Typical Ground Failure).
The good news - all my BA miles are now burned. By By BA.

Reason: The long haul flight was into Heathrow ...
