WestJet to begin flight cancellations after strike notice
June 26 (Reuters) - Canada's WestJet Airlines has begun
cancelling flights after a union representing its maintenance
engineers rejected its new pay offer and served a second strike
notice, the carrier said on Wednesday.
WestJet said this action would lead to an estimated 25
flight cancellations over June 27-28 and impact over 3,300
guests.
