Wildcat strikes in Italy, sometimes a good thing

Just got back from a holiday in Cape Town , a beautiful country and people and lots to see and do. Our flight back unfortunately was delayed after we had boarded 3 hours on the tarmac for an engine technical fault. We departed at midnight , now due to arrive a 9.00 in the morning instead of 6am with our connecting flight to Pisa at 9.25. We were going to miss it. In fact we did miss it and unfortunately British airways did not have another direct flight but booked us on a flight to Rome at 12.45 the same day and then a flight with Alitalia from Rome arriving in Pisa at 18.30 arriving 6 hours late and having been travelling since 5.00 pm the previous day. We were passing Livorno at 3.30pm when BA announced they were very sorry there was a wildcat strike by ground staff at Rome airport they couldnt land there and they would have to divert to the nearest airport PISA! How lucky was that for some! That brought a smile to our faces the first of the day!
