Some of my co-workers and I were comparing FFPs a week ago and a Star flyer plainly stated "OW can't get me anywhere if half their airlines are on strike". That was a week ago and I mostly glossed over the comment until today (lots of downtime right now)
I have been looking into *A products and routes, especially with the UA/CO merger (I'm based in the US, so huge potential effect on me) and now with the obscene BA strike. I know most people aren't loyal to an alliance, but what is everyone thinking about OW right now?

Personally, I can't even justify planning future travel without a backup plan right now
