    Aug 24 (Reuters) - WestJet flight attendants on Monday voted
to accept a tentative agreement that would boost wages by more
than 18% over three years, their union said, after they held a
strike that caused hundreds of cancellations earlier this month.
    The airline's flight attendants also secured duty pay
premium as part of a broader shift in North America, where cabin
crews are challenging compensation structures built mainly
around flying time rather than every hour at work.
