Anybody hear of FF bonus's coming out of the recent job action mess at TWA. What starts there might be picked up at least in part by others.

On two occasions in the past, I was awarded bonuses from an Airline FF program due to labor disputes or other causes of cancelled flights. It is amusing that in both cases, I had not flown or tried to fly that airline during it's troubled period.

For America West, I was given 2500 bonus miles for being an active member of their FF program (though not during the labor dispute)

For American, as a Gold member, I was given 5 extra upgrade stickers during their most recent labour dispute.

This is a good reason to maintain all of your FF memberships, even if you have not flown that airline in a while.

I was not able to get any points after Air Canada's strike but they gave me $100 voucher against future travel (already now used)--and I didn't even ask them for anything. I just pointed out how I had been inconvenienced (had to leave Geneva a day early and wasn't able to stop in London on the way back as I originally planned).
