    Aug 3 (Reuters) - The union representing flight attendants
at Canada's WestJet reached a tentative deal with the country's
second largest carrier on Monday, ending a strike that has led
to the cancellation of hundreds of flights in the busy summer
season.
    The Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents
4,400 flight attendants at the carrier, sought pay for its
members from the time they check in until they clock out,
instead of mostly just for time when their aircraft is in
motion.
