I wonder how many other people are taking the same view?
Honestly not bothered, Joao ... although I do recognise that some SH sectors may be affected.

Personally, we flew for leisure through "Strike 3" and "Strike 4" last Spring with minimum inconvenience and, apart from a skip-load of rescheduling, our SH and LH sectors all happened as planned. I have long since reinstated Company travel with BA.

I have forward bookings with BA [LH and connecting SH] up to late Oct, and I'm not in the least bit concerned. However, I will accept that some routes may be more vulnerable than others.
