Question Greek workers strike.. only affecting some?

Today the General Workers strike in Greece has gone ahead, but from what I can see it is having a very mixed impact on flight operations.

Take LGW for example, Thomas Cook flights (TCX) to and from Greece are all running on time (early in some cases). Air 2000 on the other hand have 2 Corfu flights due in this afternoon not expected until 02:30 ish tomorrow, although their Preveza flight is on time?!

Britannia's 21:45 from Zakynthos is not due until 07:20 tomorrow - nearly 10 hours late!

So how come some flights are running fine, whilst others are suffering incredible delays? I have been in the ZTH terminal btw, not somewhere I would like to spend 10 hours!

How is it decided who gets to fly and who doesn't?
