Rebooking waiver issued November 5, 2019 for the strike to occur on November 7-8, 2019
LH advises you what do in case of irreg cancellations here: https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/flight-disruptions
UFO has called on its cabin crew members for a two-day strike on 7 and 8 November. Lufthansa condemns the UFO's call for a strike in the strongest possible terms and is considering legal steps to prevent the strike. We are currently working at full speed on a special flight plan for Thursday and Friday which will be published on Wednesday. We apologize for any inconvenience that may arise.
Please check this website regularly, leave your mobile number in your Miles & More profile or in your booking and you will automatically be informed about the latest changes.
Your flight has not yet been cancelled, but you still want to change to another day or the train?
In order to give you planning security, we now offer you a free rebooking in the following cases
If you are booked on a domestic Lufthansa flight, we offer you a free exchange of your flight route for a train ticket on this page.
If and when a particular strike begins and flights are actually beginning to be cancelled/automatically rebooked, you can call or use facebook messenger ( https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/chatbot ) and ask for a rebooking/rerouting. If your ticket was issued by a travel agent or different airline, you are advised to contact the issuing office.
LH usually rebooks to other LH Group carriers, any star alliance carrier or other IATA airline it has an interline agreement with. The preference to do so is in the same order and done only if the preferred alternative doesn't have any free seats in the class of service (not booking class). Award bookings are treated the same way, although you may be requested to contact the issuing carrier for reissuing the ticket. LH issued tickets are usually reissued using the ATC irreg system. Because of the ATC in place, any travel agent who originally issued the tickets can rebook using the rules and reissue the tickets automatically without any intervention required by Lufthansa.
Details of the LH irreg invol rebooking policy is here: https://aviacenter.ru/en/news/2019/04/29/lufthansa-group-airlines.-flight-irregularities-policy-(in-case-of-schedule-changes)/

I went down the FR24 list for FRA tomorrow, as far as it would go, and I counted 32 flights canx including only 1 SH-BRU. It would take me to 18:35 tomorrow night.
I can't see where 700 flights canx come from? There must be loads that have not been canx yet?

755 and 422 canceled for Thursday.
Rebooked to EK. The thought of 14 hours in the back (I doubt my ASR for extra legroom will be honored) is daunting.
How is LH with granting ORC?

Made a fixed-price upgrade to F, and need to be rebooked to other carrier. There is nothing in J available for other carriers, but LH refused to book me in F for another carrier.
Unfortunately can't check the LH site now, but is it right they refuse this rebooking in F for me?

Let's say 2 sectors per aircraft, be generous 250, PLUS many are operating allegedly.
So where are the other 450 cancellations? They do NOT have 700 long haul per day.
I see ONE SH cancellation out of FRA. BRU. That's it.

LH have misinformed from the beginning.
They said it would be done by 15:00. It is still being done? Therefore suggesting that there were no more cancellations than what has been done?
And because my trip still is not technically cancelled, it is not getting approved for LOT, which flight is oversold by five seats already but my waitlist has cleared.
