I'd say mildly worried about our mid-June flights but not to the point of booking a refundable backup flight yet (but maybe I should!). The strike extending to July would be crazy.

I'm pretty sure this was written by Abe Simpson, but it's got some numbers that are apparently industry sourced:

Did a quick search for non-refundable (ie: the cheapest back-up option), and our trip could go from $1,500 for 2 people to Tokyo to $5,000 + at least 1-2 layovers. And -$1,500. Awesome

I think the average for airline strikes is 10 days.
Try to search up history, AC strike lasted 13 days in 1998. And Lisa Raitt forced them back to work b/c economy in 2011.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
good thing I'm flying encore! In those super fancy Q400! with "premium" seats that are absolutely the same as steerage class! and no running water in the bathrooms! awesome!
Tap, Rack, BANG!

An agreement in principle has been reached between the union and WestJet. Should hit the news shortly
sweet, hopefully will wake up with some good news!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Why is this unique to WJ?
Shouldn't the AC pilots be part of the same union? What a goat rodeo.
They have different agreements that expire at different times, just like with all union conglomerates.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
