KL to trim schedule February 7th - March 13th
According to Luchtvaartnieuws and cabin crew union VNC (articles in Dutch) absenteeism due to illness and quarantine has reached such levels that KL will reduce the number of scheduled flights in the period February 7th - March 13th. This is considered preferable to the ad hoc cancelations at short notice that they have been resorting to in recent months.
Revised schedule has not yet been announced.

As a regular on the skinny European short hops I much prefer preplanned service “adjustments” to the current constant worry that my flight will be cancelled.
As long as they don’t cancel the one service that I use almost every week :-)

Some March flights have definitely been cancelled in the last few days. For instance, the KL1007/1008 rotation between AMS and LHR has been cancelled most week days. The AMS-NCE afternoon rotation (KL1257/1258) has also been cancelled on some days, resulting in only 2 rotations to/from NCE on those days. I would not necessarily assume that all changes are necessarily in the timetable yet, however.

Not sure if it's early schedule reduction, crew down with covid, or after effects of the storm, but I lucked out and had both my booked segments tomorrow cancelled. I am choosing to see this as a positive using up two cancellation "strikes" on a single disruption.
KLM auto-rebooked me on LH, which I thought was kind of impressive.
