Whilst it would obviously have the most impact disruption wise, I think it would be a MASSIVE PR own goal if they did strike over this period, I really don't think they would get much sympathy from passengers unable to travel to be with their families over the period (including my wife!).

From BA's point of view I imagine they would perhaps prefer Xmas as this will affect regular business travellers less, although the massive PR issue may well negate this.
