08/03/2025 CLT-MIA-JFK with AA all in time, BA114 JFK-LHR, issues with ground staff, resulting in 52 min delay. Was booked on BA926 09/03/2025 to MUC, due to the delay we got booked to a connection via Zurich (BA 718-LH2373) by the transfer desk ahead of our arrival. Tried to call up BAH, but they could not offer any alternative due to the upcoming strike in Germany on 10/03/2025.
Due to the re-booking we ended in a planned 7:25h delay to our original booked itinerary and due to some delays on LH side we ended up with a delay of 7:46h.
Would you think that would fall under UK/EU261 or is it being rejected as the upcoming strike will not fall under the scope of BA.

Thanks for your thoughts
