Trending searches: air canada pilots strike

Ari renovich joins us now from the business center and Ari Canada's largest airline is offering up a little flexibility with some potentially unfriendly Skies up ahead yeah could be a sign of things to come too Melissa there is the possibility of an Air Canada pilot strike as early as September 17th that's the deadline imposed by the union representing over 5,000 Pilots with the air carrier and not that they expect the strike to go through because Air Canada says that its goal is to reach a negotiated settlement on a new deal with the pilots by the deadline it's sort of a just in case scenario the airline says it will allow customers to change their travel plans at no additional cost for the period immediately before and immediately after that deadline of September 17th uh but still the best thing that we could hope for at this point Melissa is that there will be no strike or Canada again is working to get that deal reach because that certainly would be a lot of headaches for travelers yeah for sure now a major reunion tour is in the works and this one's huge for anyone who grew up in the 9s I'm not saying it's me including Melissa but it's me okay so this definitely was excited to hear this news I'm not sure about yourself but uh yeah this could be one of those tours that we're talking about in future business reports because it's set to make a lot of money so Oasis had a teaser yesterday an official announcement today on X formerly Twitter including a list of over a dozen shows spanning parts of the UK and Ireland next summer the tickets go on sale this Saturday and a tour of this magnitude was delayed by the long-standing feud between the Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel but appears they have put their differences aside I wonder if this has anything to do with it industry experts estimate these shows alone could rake in hundreds of millions of dollars again for only about a dozen shows or so so if it goes worldwide could even rival get this the Taylor Swift era tour so Melissa hopefully the Gallagher brothers can stay on good terms for everybody that's definitely a tough one to do but wow imagine mhm now K have a moving day without pizza and one of the big Chang is trying to capitalize on that absolutely Melissa yes so uh if you ever had moving day it's that's kind of the usual go-to is order pizza because your plates are in boxes your Cutlery maybe even your table is in boxes so Pizza Huts trying to help you out apparently the promotion is an idea inspired why the maybe the table's not there so just let's make it easy for you the table legs fold out from the pizza box not sure this was something anybody really asked for because the whole idea of Pizza on moving day is that it's easy enough as it is but why not go a step further Melissa it's only going to be available in a few US cities including I believe I saw Charlotte and Dallas maybe a few others so no Canadian cities yet but who knows these things pick up speed and eventually we'll see it here hopefully yeah hopefully keep the floors clean Pizza off the floors why not all right thanks Ari thank you Melissa
