6th September would give me a chuckle - I'm booked on a LX long haul (which looks fairly open right now) that day - but with LH going on strike, it would make for a lovely airport fight for whatever left on LX.

I am flying LH on the 3rd, 8th, 10th, 12th, 26th, and 29th, so a strike between the 12th and about the 23rd or 24th would be ideal for me. 
Seems to me if there is a job action the first week in September, those here in this thread will have a lot of experiences to report...

Is this possible strike for September and/ or for October as well?

I created a Doodle so everybody can inform LH and the Pilots Union.
That is a great idea. The pilots already want to coordinate their strikes with the train conductor union which wants to go on strike, too. They agreed to strike on different dates. So they might include us frequent travelers in their coordination, too.And I second that the 6th would be a very bad idea.

The Doodle should include your status, so that HON counts 3x, SEN 2x, FTL/*G 1x

Flying LH the 6th AND 7th on a UA award. A strike that weekend would likely be a disaster for me. I was hoping for more than 24 hours notice because I don't think that will help me at all.

Is the strike going to be continuous or intermittent?!

New negotiations have been set for Thursday.
I wouldn't expect a strike this week.
