Given the recent strike/walkout on BA and the potential of NWA on Aug. 20th, I'm curious to know how the process would occur. I'm asking because I have a flight scheduled at 11:50 PM on the 19th from LAS to IND, then from IND to DCA via Pinnacle/NW Airlink.

I read that if a strike were to happen, it would most likely be at midnight the 20th, or 1AM. Either time, does this mean that if it happens, I'm pretty much gonna sit at LAS airport like the folks at LHR? Or would I actually be able to get on the 11:50 PM flight, only to be stopped at IND (or is Pinnacle/NW Airlink not affected?)

What happens to those flights already in the air as the clock goes past midnight? Do they land at the destination airports and then stand down?

Never really paid attention to the logistics/process of a strike, till I'm looking at a potential one in the face
