As usual on this sort of thing the numbers are a little fuzzy, but the fact that remains that British Airways pilots put on a pretty impressive demonstration at Heathrow over OpenSkies this weekend. And they really have been pulling in at least some degree of US-based support.
Apparently the police are reporting 1,100 marchers - seems that quite a lot of those were not actually pilots, but that's still impressive for a 3,000-strong workforce.
The main Pprune thread on the dispute is here, but in some ways a more interesting one is here. The willingness of non-BA pilots, especially in Oneworld, to take action could be significant in all of this.
Strike links here and more officially here. There are also some more pix of the Heathrow march.
