Air Canada cancels flights during peak travel season ahead of flight attendant strike
Canada's largest airline has started cancelling flights during the peak summer travel season ahead of a strike by more than 10,000 flight attendants over what they say are 'poverty wages' and unpaid labour for work when planes aren't in the air. Air Canada said it would start suspending flights on Thursday ahead of full shutdown on Saturday after the flagship carrier and the union representing the flight attendances failed to resolve a months-long dispute over pay and working conditions. About 130,000 customers a day could be affected by a disruption, according to the airline. Air Canada and the Canadian union of public employees (CUPE) have been negotiating a new collective agreement for flight attendants since March. Among the unresolved issues are wages and compensation for work carried out on the ground. Flight attendants are currently not paid for any work before or after the plane takes off. Air Canada's vice-president of corporate communications told CBC News on Tuesday that there was a 'huge gap' between the two sides. Air Canada says it has offered 'an increase of more than 38% on global compensation', but the union says that figure still fails to fully account for inflation. Air Canada also said it was willing to pay flight attendants 50% of their wage for work done before planes take off, but Cupe says its members should be fully paid for that labour. Earlier this week, the union representing Air Canada's flight attendants declined Air Canada's request to resolve negotiations through arbitration. Under that scenario, a third-party arbitrator would weigh proposals from each side and then make a final decision that both the union and Air Canada would have to accept. 'Despite our best efforts, Air Canada refused to address our core issues,' the union said after it rejected the request for arbitration. Air Canada says its decision to gradually suspend flights will allow for an orderly winding down of operations. The airline said it has also made arrangements with other carriers to give customers possible alternative travel options amid one of the year's busiest travel periods. 'We regret the impact a disruption will have on our customers, our stakeholders and the communities we serve,' said Michael Rousseau, Air Canada's chief executive, in a statement. Canada's federal minister for jobs and families, Patty Hajdu, said in a social media post on X Tuesday evening that she was monitoring the situation, but that the federal government wasn't stepping in. 'The best agreements are the ones the parties reach themselves,' she wrote.

Air Canada cancels flights from Thursday as cabin crew strike looms
Aug 13 (Reuters) - Air Canada ( opens new tab is cancelling flights from Thursday, as the country's largest carrier winds down service ahead of a looming Saturday strike by its more than 10,000 flight attendants. Montreal-based Air Canada said on Wednesday it plans to cease flying on Saturday after its flight attendants' union served a 72-hour strike notice due to stalled contract talks over pay. The standoff is disrupting service by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge, which together carry about 130,000 customers a day. It's also creating a fresh test for the country's Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney which was asked by Air Canada to impose binding arbitration on the two sides. Binding arbitration would stop any strike. Canada's Minister of Jobs and Families on Tuesday encouraged both parties to remain at the table until a deal is reached. The dispute hinges over the way airlines compensate flight attendants. Most airlines have traditionally paid cabin crew members only when planes are in motion. But flight attendants in North America have sought compensation for hours worked, including for tasks like boarding passengers and waiting around the airport. The strike is set to begin at about 1 a.m. ET on Saturday. Earlier this month, 99.7% of flight attendants represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees voted for a strike. Air Canada has said customers would be fully refunded for cancellations, which could hit lucrative routes between Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. The airline also issued a lockdown notice beginning 32 minutes after the strike. It had declared a deadlock in negotiations on Tuesday, after the union rejected its proposal for binding arbitration. The carrier had offered a 38% increase in total compensation for flight attendants over four years, with a 25% raise in the first year. However, the union said the offer would raise actual wages by 17.2% over four years and was below inflation. Air Canada had offered to compensate flight attendants for some unpaid work but only at 50% of their hourly rate. Flight attendants have negotiated with more confidence, encouraged by improved airline earnings in 2024 and bumper pay deals for pilots since the pandemic. Such concessions would raise labor costs for Air Canada, which reported a drop in second-quarter profit, weighed by weak passenger traffic to its key U.S. market.
