@ mr87 ... we flew BA in the Spring, LHR-IAD, through 2 lots of strikes. Outbound the 3 daily flights were initially consolidated into one, and then they were all re-instated at the last minute once they knew how many CC were actually turning up for work.. Same thing happened on the way home 3 weeks later - one flight, then at the last minute all 3 operating.

We're outbound on the same route just before Easter, and we have absolutely no doubt that BA will get us there and back.

No guarantees, of course, just stating what happened to us. Depends on your route, and number of flights, as BetterByBoat noted. If you are booked for a once a week flight to an obscure destination ... you'll probably be one of the guaranteed, IMO. It's the people served by multiple flights per day who are likely to bear the first cuts/consolidations [if any]. That way, BA can say they served 100% of long-haul destinations.

IMO, E&OE
