I agree with what you're saying but they might not get called off until the last minute or I wouldn't know if my flight was one of the lucky ones operating until the day before so I need contingency.
You can organise contingency, but it would be at your own cost if a strike doesn't transpire to affect you. If you're very worried then book a refundable hotel of your choosing that's in a sensible price bracket.
Are strikes inconvenient? Yes, but you can minimise inconvenience if you're worried. Might you need to move hotels? Yes. Is it annoying? Yes. Is it better than having to pay yourself? Absolutely.
