WestJet Flight Attendants on Strike | Calgary News

WestJet’s 4,400 flight attendants have issued a 72-hour strike notice, threatening to walk off the job during peak summer travel — just as the airline retaliated with its own 72-hour lockout. The core dispute? Attendants want pay for all work time, including ground duties, while WestJet defends its “credit hour” system. To soften the blow, WestJet is offering free changes or cancellations for flights between July 30 and August 4 — a move designed to prevent chaos as they operate over 600 flights daily. With Sunday looming, the clock is ticking on whether both sides can avoid a major travel disruption. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
