Just wondering if any long-term veterans here have experience FA strike before and can give some tips on what to expect.

Also, this "work by rules" protest, will it be a horrific pain in the butt on the pax? Again tips and expectations?

Traveling in 2 days with 2 clients and really nervous....
The cabin attendants of your flight is probably in NYC right now. Are they going to strike and stuck at NYC or fly back to HK and then strike? Anyone know? If they choose to strike at NYC, they probably have to pay for their own hotel and food?
