The last time that I had the opportunity to fly BA (to Warsaw) they went of strike and my flight was cancelled a couple of times. Could not go on my annual holiday last year through no fault of my own. Now I'm due to fly out on 14 July and they're threatening to strike again! I need to read the EC261 thread now. Last time BA said that I was not entitled to compensation due to strikes being out of their control.

Ryanair tried that argument, and lost. It was deemed airlines are (at least) partially responsible for dire industrial relations, therefore must compensate disrupted passengers.
