Funny thing I heard was that there were actually FAs at outstations supporting strike. I heard from a friend working in EVA saying that 10 crew members in Vienna posted photos of supporting strike and are being kicked out of the hotels there. EVA plans to send another set of crew members there to operate flights.

Union said EVA is forcing these crew members in Vienna to sign paperwork that they are not striking or they will be on their own for hotel and food costs.

These flights were confirmed by EVA as re-instated flight with more crews on task. However, we don't know if it's from the strike FAs or not.

Oh, I guess my post was confusing to many. I only listed the flights operated, and Vancouver was never on the list...

All Brisbane flights were canceled so they have not yet got on the list of flying.

In the short term like CI it can make people work extra hours but that may only be effective for up to a week before needing to give people breaks.
Though almost 3,000 voted for strike, union only has around ~2,000 of those passports and IDs.

Union is refusing to return those items unless the FAs goes there themselves to claim it even though EVA has the request letter notarized by Taoyuan court. Report says union called each of those union member to seek their intent and the intent is to return the IDs. However, we don't know if the union has yet returned the IDs.
