It would be rather silly for a company to make announcements that there might be a strike but no date has been set. Useless information that will only lead to people reacting when there's nothing to react to.
They will make an announcement when the date has been set by the unions, like they have always done. And that, including what to do, will be posted to social media. And a new schedule will be posted as soon as is available.
Please stop behaving like an impatient 5 year old. Go stand in line for the new iPhone or something. But this is a business they are running, not a news site.
The information is available for anyone to find.... Your risks are the same as they were before, there might be a strike, there might not be. You might be affected when you are flying this week, you might not be (and you most likely wont be).
But I'm sure you know that already and don't need a Facebook message to confirm that knowledge.
Actually a number of companies post about their labour disruptions using social media. They don't need to post about their negotiations- they can post- as they did for a very long time with the original Lufthansa lurker- via their twitter, Facebook, or even Flyertalk accounts.
The personal comments from you by the way are quite possibly a little off the Flyertalk TOS- perhaps you can modify them if your schedule permits.
