Air Canada says it will begin a gradual suspension of flights to allow an orderly shutdown of the country's largest airline as it faces a potential work stoppage by its flight attendants on Saturday.
The airline said the first flights will be cancelled Thursday, with more on Friday and a complete cessation of flying by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge by the weekend.
The union, representing around 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants, has issued a 72-hour strike notice. In response, the airline issued a lockout notice.
Air Canada said customers whose flights are cancelled will be notified and will be eligible for a full refund.
Wesley Lesosky, CUPE Air Canada Component President said""The company came to us with a very minimal wage proposal so they put 8 percent on the table in the first year. And that still would not pull our members out of the poverty level."
