Airline and pilots’ union are in a legal strike or lockout position on Sept. 18, provided they issue 72 hours notice
says it is preparing to wind down operations ahead of an “increasingly likely” strike or lockout as contract talks with its pilots union yield no signs of a deal.
Air Canada said on Monday such a notice will trigger its three-day plan to progressively suspend all flights by Sept. 18, and that the two sides are “far apart” at the bargaining table. A shutdown would affect more than 110,000 passengers a day on 670 domestic and international flights.The union has said it is seeking wage increases that will bring its members in line with their North American counterparts, better retirement benefits and quality of life improvements.
