I'm the same... Gold already banked with flights I have in September (none strike days), plus a US CW return late October which hopefully will escape strikes, drones, IT failures etc.... With that in mind I'm taking a stab at the Virgin status match with SH flights on SAS, AF, KLM and FlyBe all qualifying for FC miles and an Upper Class trip to Delhi as the qualifying flight to get to FC Gold.

I'm thinking that coming into 2020 with BA gold and FC gold will give me a good set of options, especially if the FlyBe absorbtion I to Virgin comes to something.

The backup plan and potential switch of loyalty isn't solely down to strikes, its a culmination of things on BA front but the strikes haven't helped.
