WestJet Flight Attendants Strike | Panama City Beach News

WestJet’s 4,400 flight attendants went on strike over unpaid ground time, grounding nearly 500 flights and disrupting 250,000 travelers during a busy long weekend. The union rejected WestJet’s latest offer as insufficient, arguing the airline’s credit hour system fails to compensate for essential pre- and post-flight duties. Passengers are scrambling—some stuck in hotels, others forced to sleep in cars or friends’ homes. Both sides say they’re open to talks, with the Canadian government urging resolution at the bargaining table before travel chaos worsens.
