Is there something I don’t know, like was there ever a possibility that this strike was going to get called off or something?
I saw some airlines still selling tickets for these dates yesterday!
To be fair, the airport restrictions were only announced late on Friday, probably too late for management staff to deal with it until Monday. And then who knows how many and which staff members will actually go on strike until last minute?

In previous strikes, it was considered normal for cancellations to take place only in the afternoon the day before.
