Norra strike warning for June 16.

Finnair's subcontractor Norra's cabin personnel gave a strike warning for June 16. Cabin crew will not work on Helsinki-originated flights that day.

I did my best to book a reasonably priced HEL-HAM-OTP (AB codeshare), but no chance - 1k+ for a shorthaul Y-class ticket??? Going on A3 via ATH for 140€ instead and coming back on TK for 200€. Really glad now - and thus I got a chance to use my TK miles to upgrade.

PS - expedia did a great job combining two tickets in one reservation!

Is it a possible strike or is it certain?

I have a Brussels - Helsinki flight that date (operated by Norra).
If so I better change to Friday.

Certain if they don't find a mutual conclusion before that date.

Strike is scheduled to Thursday 16.6. 00.00 – 23.59. And for english-speaking people: to keep it short, Norra employees currently have weaker terms what is industry standard in Finland due to some agreement done many years ago when company was known as Finncomm airlines. Agreement has quite much weaker terms of labour and shorter rest times compared to for example AY or even Finland based DY people for example.

Apart from that they have shortage of pilots and p...ing off domestic passengers is likely to continue. link here
