Of course, that would be on the 27th, so it won't operate if the strike does occur on that date. The flight shows as "at risk," but not canceled on BA.com.

If cancellations for the 27th have been posted, I would take this as a sign that BA are planning to leave the aircraft from the flight on 26 September at VIE all day on the 27th, and the flight is likely to operate as scheduled.

If cancellations for the latter strike date have not yet been posted, however, I'm a lot less optimistic ...
I don't think they've pulled anything for the 2nd dates yet. I was due to fly the day after the first set of dates and was able to proactively rebook so you might want to look at your options for another date or cancellation and find another airline.... Depends how risk averse you are I guess.
