Speaking without inside knowledge but experience of UK strikes across the last 35 years ... No One Knows!
The coincidence of timing will be far greater than any planning.
- If a full wide body arrives late and becomes the first to affected
- If the first a/c of the strike period is almost empty?
- How many will strike?
- How difficult will the pax be?
- What problems will the pax present - will there be lots of asylum seekers?
- How many airport and airline staff will turn out to help?
No One Knows!
