Strike dates not yet announced
Well, I just asked youfirst if I could bring our F redemption booking to SYD a couple of days forward to avoid the potential strike days, as there is availability on BA9 in A and F classes. There is no redemption availability.
Youfirst's answer is that as strike days have not yet been announced normal fare rules still apply and as there's no redemption availability on the earlier dates then changing the booking is not currently possible.
(Which is pretty much the answer I was expecting to receive, but I thought it was worth asking).

Am I correct in thinking that MFUs will be transferable into revenue buckets -ie I'll be able to transfer to any flights with seats, not just ones with award seats available.
Would I earn full miles and TP ?

Does anyone know what the score is with TPs and miles for BA bookings affected by the strike dates if / when they are announced?
The link on the ba.com front page omits to mention anything about this.
I have four F sectors booked in March that represent a serious pile of TPs and miles and I would hate to lose out on them because I am forced to cancel and change carrier.
I wouldn't feel so bad if I had to rebook as a gold on (my status matched) *A account, but that would mean that I have to learn about how that programme works and I just don't have the time or patience for intimate knowledge of more than one FFP

I was booked in WT+ MFU to Club for travel on Dec 23rd. I called up and had them move it Dec 21st, at which point the ticket changed to J.
But when it posted to my EC account it showed as Ineligible flight, 0 miles/0 points. I'm still working on getting the WT+ points/miles posted. On my 4th attempt at the moment.

Any idea on what the rebooking policy might be vis-a-vis putting passengers on other carriers?
Will they be doing any rebooking on other carriers? If so, will it just be OW partners, or will they rebook onto other airlines?
I have one redemption ticket, and one paid CW ticket for March.

It isn't there today. I hope they haven't quietly decided to not give miles/TPs for cancelled flights.

You think they'll honour it? It sounds like this was deliberately removed. Unfortunately probably a deal breaker for me (was planning to do a OW RTW but will probably switch to SQ-only or *A instead).
