One way to be pre-emptive is to either ask a travel agent or do some online research to see if an airline you are considering is having labor problems, but often you might need to book before those problems surface. To make matters more difficult, some airlines keep their troubles under the radar until it is close to the actual dates flights could be disrupted.

As a British Airways strike appears increasingly likely to happen this weekend, an old axiom comes to mind “It could always be worse.” Travelers who have already scrambled to reschedule canceled flights might doubt that. Alas, it can get worse, and is likely, to get much worse.

Now the airline faces a strike at potentially the worst time of year — the Christmas holidays. While to some degree British Airways is being held hostage by their unions, even now, their efforts leave much to be desired. Specifically, the airline has not yet announced a strike schedule, even though they knew this threat was coming. (The strike vote was taken last week, and all indications were it was going to be in favor of the “job action.”)
