If I have to deal with commute traffic running hours late it would. Today I left at 10am for a noon flight and was fine. 880 was a parking lot, but that's normal. I just can't imagine more cars there, as it's pretty much at capacity during the day. Add in 300,000 more people on the freeway and I'd probably have to leave at 8am to be safe. It's 40 miles to OAK for me (wouldn't even think of SFO..might do an overnight hotel there before fighting morning traffic during a strike). I remember the Bay Bridge during the last BART strike and I won't go anywhere near it within a few hours of an expanded commute time.

The other option would be to leave home around 4 in the morning and just camp out in the airport, hoping to get out on an earlier flight. That might be more palatable. My next flight from SFO is Labor Day weekend.
