Thousands of passengers stranded after WestJet strike
from The Vassy Kapelos Show · host iHeartRadio
Tim Powers guest hosts for Vassy Kapelos, who is taking an extra long weekend to unwind and relax. WestJet flight attendants walked off the job on Sunday before their union reached a tentative agreement with the airline overnight. It wasn't a lengthy stint on the picket lines, but the fallout still has Canadians stranded across the country and abroad. We dig deeper with John Gradek, an airline industry expert and lecturer at McGill University. On today's show: Stranded WestJet passenger Bob Reid joins us live from Winnipeg to share his customer service experience during the strike. Tim speaks with The Globe And Mail's Stephanie Levitz about Canada's long-awaited foreign influence registry, which is taking effect today. Money Talk with John Klotz: The ins and outs of travel insurance. The Daily Debrief Panel - featuring Jamie Ellerton, Sharan Kaur, and Nojour Al Mallees. Tech Check with tech analyst Carmi Levy: The AI-supervised exam that went horribly wrong. TSN's Matt Cauz joins Tim to chat about a dismal season for the Toronto Blue Jays, as they did a mixture of buying and tough selling during Monday's MLB Trade Deadline.
