Here is a BIG BIG BIG question. Since their stupid strike is on randomly picked days... I am affected on the return leg only.. BIO -MAD is on Spanair... MAD - YYZ is on Spanair but operated by AC.. Here is the question.. IF Spanair is on strike, and my ticket is a Spanair ticket, can I still fly on the plane which is AC? or am I out of luck?? Should i be changing the dates? Please help.. (freaking out here) It doesnt help that someone also crashed into my car last night and I am dealing with that now...

FYI the strike by JK staff is in effect - indefinitely. It is only happening in Mallorca, on Mondays and Fridays, and only by corporate employees (i.e., in the office).
