WestJet, which is a Delta Airlines partner, confirmed the strike and canceled more than 300 flights as of early Sunday, snarling travel plans in Canada in the middle of a three-day weekend.<\/p>\n<p>A key issue in the dispute was how flight attendants should be paid for duties performed while still on the ground. The union said some of that work is unpaid, while the company said its staff was indeed compensated, citing pay through a &#8220;credit hour&#8221; system rather than an hourly rate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We presented a proposal that would have set a new standard for cabin crew in Canada, making WestJet the only airline to offer an hourly rate covering all time before and after flights, plus a double-digit wage increase in year one among other priorities the union raised,&#8221; said Alexis von Hoensbroech, CEO of the WestJet Group. &#8220;Unfortunately, it wasn&#8217;t accepted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/08\/02\/d87372f3-a428-4c2d-97c9-39d659c063d7\/thumbnail\/620x423\/fb3fedf65207e19a732b258a6a213578\/gettyimages-2283226165.jpg#\" alt=\"Diverse aircraft lands at Barcelon Airport \" height=\"423\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/08\/02\/d87372f3-a428-4c2d-97c9-39d659c063d7\/thumbnail\/620x423\/fb3fedf65207e19a732b258a6a213578\/gettyimages-2283226165.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/08\/02\/d87372f3-a428-4c2d-97c9-39d659c063d7\/thumbnail\/1240x846\/f3cebccadf67dfa3554e594a3a392a49\/gettyimages-2283226165.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A WestJet Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner makes a go-around while attempting to land at Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Joan Valls\/Urbanandsport\/NurPhoto via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Alia Hussain, president of the union chapter that represents the cabin crew, said negotiators &#8220;tried until the very last minute to get a fair deal that recognizes the value of the work cabin crews do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;WestJet&#8217;s offer did not go far enough,&#8221; Hussain said.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides said they were willing to resume negotiations to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The airline said it could not operate any of its scheduled flights on Boeing 737s or 787s, and travelers will be refunded or re-accommodated.
