Iberia Regional (Air Nostrum) pilots are striking for eight days around Christmas and the New Year resulting in many flight cancellations.
The strike days are December 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, and 30, and January 2 and 3, 2023. Air Nostrum is Oneworld Affiliate and operates flights under Iberia Regional branding.
You can access Iberia’s page for the strike information here.
Iberia has released the following rebooking information:
Customers affected by these cancellations may choose to have their tickets refunded or rebooked on alternative flights/dates subject to availability. In addition, we have made fares more flexible so that passengers on flights that are not cancelled can change dates if they prefer.
Iberia is required by law to rebook affected passengers to their final destination at the earliest opportunity, even if this means moving them to competing airlines. Iberia is also required to provide care in case of long delays, such as accommodation and meals.
Iberia has published a list of canceled flights for the first two strike days:

Conclusion
There is likely not much capacity to rebook passengers on canceled flights to other services, as these are busy traffic days.
Also, Iberia is not one of the easiest airlines to deal with in case of delays and cancellations.
