WestJet cancels hundreds of flights as mechanics strike in surprise move on busy long weekend
A surprise strike by unionized mechanics at Calgary-based WestJet has left thousands of passengers wondering whether they'd reach their destinations after the airline cancelled 407 flights Saturday, affecting some 49,000 passengers. The move on the Canada Day long weekend comes after Ottawa said it had imposed binding arbitration to solve outstanding collective agreement issues.
