Summary
WestJet flight attendants threaten to strike as early as August 2, with nearly 4,400 crew members ready to walk out over disputed pay — specifically, how credit hours translate to unpaid work. The airline has responded with a lockout notice, warning that without a deal by the deadline, summer travel could face major disruptions. While the union says they’re aiming for a fair contract without harming passengers, WestJet’s CEO admits the uncertainty is frustrating — but insists the airline is committed to keeping flights running and avoiding stranded travelers. With negotiations still ongoing, the clock is ticking before chaos hits the skies. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
