Union says 'nothing scheduled' with Air Canada as strike by flight attendants halts operations [View all]

The union representing Air Canada flight attendants says no talks are scheduled with the airline as a strike that began early Saturday led to the airline suspending operations.

The union and airline met late Friday night before 10,000 flight attendants walked off the job at 12:58 a.m. ET, Wesley Lesosky, president of the Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), told a morning news conference.

Lesosky said their last meeting was Friday night, but Air Canada offered "nothing of substance" to bring back to members.

Asked when Canadians could expect to be back on flights, Lesosky said it's up to Air Canada, but that public pressure on the airline will make a "huge difference" in reaching a settlement.
