Episode Details

WestJet and its flight attendants have struck a tentative deal to end a disruptive strike that grounded hundreds of flights and stranded thousands of travelers—especially during a busy holiday weekend. The union, CUPE 8125, representing nearly 4,400 cabin crew, says the agreement finally acknowledges the vital work flight attendants do before takeoff, including unpaid ground duties. After chaotic cancellations affecting 250,000 passengers, the deal revises WestJet’s credit hour system and includes pay increases, marking a major win after last summer’s Air Canada precedent. With ratification pending, normal air travel is set to resume as crews return to duty.
