From the Herald Trib:
Lufthansa faces a major strike by ground crews and others starting Monday after the union said that its members voted overwhelmingly to support a mass walkout.
Guess which airline I’m flying on Tuesday. And “starting Monday” implies that it’s an open-ended action that may escalate.
Let’s see… I could go on ANA to Tokyo, then Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong and on to Chennai… Never mind: let’s see how things unfold over the weekend.
UPDATE: Well, the latest indications are that the strike isn’t affecting the long haul schedule at all. Right now it looks as if I’ll be good to go on my originally scheduled flights.
