Air Canada Strike

Hi,

I'm flying Air North, Yukon's Airline, to Edmonton for Friday's show. I love Air North. They even serve food.

But I have an Air Canada flight booked from Edmonton to Vancouver for Sunday's show.

Anybody else worried about how a potential Air Canada strike may impact your PJ travel plans?

I'm conflicted though. I'm supporting the flight attendants in this one.

    maybe call see if they can get you on another flight,..could be a mess in the morning,...
    the union has promised to strike at midnight tonight (12:01am Wed),... talks have resumed again today.

    here is air Canada link, http://www.aircanada.com/en/news/trav_a ... dates.html

    From Calgary herald
    "As talks were resuming Tuesday to avert a midnight strike by 6,800 Air Canada flight attendants, labour rallies were expected in several cities around the country.

    Labour Minister Lisa Raitt has said the federal government will bring in back-to-work legislation if the union delivers on its promise to strike at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

    Talks between the two sides ended without a deal Monday night in Montreal, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said in a news release."

    as far as I know,..United and Continental are part of the Star Alliance with Air Canada,..they could possibly rebook you on one of those carriers free of charge,..may be a bit of a milk run,...at least coming this way you make up time.

    Well the good news is I booked my flight with Continental so it is their responsibility to get me to Calgary. The bad news is my flight is/was the only non stop from NYC

    breaking news: Air Canada and CUPE Reach Tentative Agreement,
    Business as usual at Air Canada

    Maybe they'll put you back on your original flight.
