As a result of cancellations last night, many were reprotected on Delta as well as some other airlines. A passenger who flew DL last night to JFK said that they announced before takeoff:
"A special welcome to our Elal guests. We hope we can keep you as customers"
If only DL would increase their daily schedule NYC-TLV to more than a single daily flight.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

They did last summer, but for some reason (although surprising) they felt that it wasn't successful and stopped it in early Sep

I am fully aware of that. Though it wasn't daily, like UA has out of EWR. However maybe now with the disenchantment with LY, maybe DL will seize on the opportunity and set up a solid schedule.

Any recourse for someone's who's flight tonight was canceled? The last few posts seem to indicate that not due to it being a pilot strike?

ETA. Scratch that. Missed Yankel's post.

Tomorrow's flights to Sofia and London Luton changed to Israir.  Not looking good for Friday, but no problem accepting future roundtrip in J to anywhere in Europe if it comes down to it - especially if it's valid to London.

Looks like they are disregarding the order.  The cancellations are still rolling in (Beijing, Hong Kong) and tomorrow's flight from Madrid will be operated by Israir.

As posted in Hebrew on El Al's Facebook:
לקוחות יקרים,

לצערנו טייסי אל על החליטו להתעלם מצו בית משפט,
הערב נאלצה החברה לבטל את טיסה 075 להונג קונג וטיסה 076 חזרה
וכן את טיסה 095 לבייג׳ין וטיסה 096 חזרה, עקב אי היענות הצוותים לאייש את הטיסות.

אנו מתנצלים על הפגיעה בלקוחות ופועלים למצוא להם פתרונות.

Does anyone know what's up with yesterday's LY 2 from JFK to TLV? It made a planned stop in Berlin. Anyone know if this was LY metal? Or why there was a stop?

My flight Monday night/Tuesday morning tlv-yyz was pushed back from 12:45 AM to 6 AM. Will cause my to miss a day of work.
Do I have any recourse?
Am I eligible for Israeli aviation law payment?
Can someone help me find award availability that is leaving late afternoon/night on Monday and gets me into YYZ Tuesday morning?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

You can try to call LY to reprotect you on AC if that works better for your schedule.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.
