This is a bit beated comment, but apparently SK International was also affected. I was onboard SK973 to BKK on Friday, and because of the Norwegian filght attendants on strike, the cabin crew was reduced to six (i.e. only Swedes and Danes), which must have been quite stressful to them. The noticeable effect on service level was surpringly small (at least in C) - they had cut off the pre-take-off champagne serving and the replenishment drinks were clearly offered much less frequently than usual (but they of course brought some on request); but I was much more bothred by the delay in new seats installation, as this flight was changed to old configuration just two days before daparture (at least that's when the seat map changed).
