Greek Civil Aviation Authority strike (31-5, 1-6)
I read a couple of days ago from local Greek sources that the Civil Aviation Authority will strike for 48 hours over Orthodox pentecost (31-5, 1-6), with air traffic controllers still unsure if they would join the strike - but even if they won't apparently some (slight) delays will be likely.
As I'm currently in Romania with little access to the latest Greek news about this, does one of the people on this forum perhaps have any updates about the strike plans? I'm flying BEY-ATH-OTP on the 1st, and if any strike will take place, I would rather prepare for it in plenty of time in advance to try to reroute through IST on Turkish for the way back.

I tried contacting both A3 and FR on Saturday, they are not re-routing yet.
Most people in greek forums say there's a high chance the strike will be cancelled so airlines will delay officially accepting it and rerouting.
I'll keep you posted if I find more info.

The strike has been canceled, according to http://www.livinlovin.gr/strikeswork...reece-updated/ (ctrl+f canceled)
Another source confirms, though a different source says the opposite, but I think that one's out of date because http://www.osypa.gr/ does mention a suspension of the strike.
Lucky for me, as I have domestic segments on both May 31 and june 1
