Air Canada is cancelling some flights now with a complete shutdown expected on Saturday. Expect additional pressure on the networks of it's partners, primarily United, but probably Lufthansa also.

I'm thankful the Hockey players we're billeting and either flying WestJet or driving. Hopefully they resolve things soon.

Looks like strike won't continue too long, real disruption in summer travel plans.

The report is that the government is going to force both sides into binding arbitration. The union is telling it's members to not look at their phones for a period of time so they can't get the call that forces them back to work. It's still going to be a few days as there will be some illegal job actions, but nothing that can be proven, before things get back to normal.

My brother is booked from Oakland to Vancouver for an Alaska cruise Saturday. Keeping my fingers crossed for him.
