German ATC strike... and FB elite line says not

I am due to fly to FRA tomorrow (Tue) and then back on Wed, continuing onto BGO on Thu.. all on KL flights.

From this post - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/17249650-post16.html
it seems that German ATC has voted to strike anytime on Wed.

I called FB Elite line and told them that I have no intention of being stuck in FRA on Wed as it is imperative that I be in BGO on Thu. So can I just board in AMS for BGO instead of FRA-AMS-BGO.

They said that as they have no news of the strike, no I can't just board in AMS for BGO. But if I want to, sure, I can change.. for a fee and a recalculation of the fare.

I didn't think they were very helpful... so I will protect myself on an award flight to BGO on Thu instead.
