Curious: seeing as many passengers may be connecting to other intra-Europe *A flights, how does UA rebook people in this circumstance when they have non-UA flights on their itineraries, since the waivers usually apply only to flights operated by UA? In some cases UA may have a direct flight available to your destination in Europe, but in other cases, the only option is to connect. So will UA book people onto OAL in those cases with these waivers?

I doubt you'd be particularly successful in trying for anything else, but YMMV.

Don’t want to be rude - but the post above yours has a link to a news article about the strike. It says they will continue until 13 April. Now that may not happen, but based on that, it isn’t out of the question to extend past the 10th.

No problem. It was a little odd, we parked right in front of the A gates, but were bussed to the terminal as if it were a remote stand arrival. Crowds seemed much lighter than normal at LH lounge in Z terminal.
As usual, the worst part of the trip home was the BART ride across the bay.
