Trending searches: air canada strike
both sides say that they're optimistic that a strike or a lockout could be averted here but Air Canada has moved ahead finalizing those contingency plant to wind down planes that could start on Sunday and the union here is launching its strike center today so all of these people behind me many of them are pilots themselves and they're touching base with Air Canada Pilots domestically and internationally as well updating them on what is going on with this contract impass between the union and Air Canada essentially they're trying to find out where everybody is is they've put a little priority checklist here they're trying to track the pilots find out where they are if a strike or a lockout begins they'll support the pilots and their families and then finally they're going to try to get them home if they need to if the strike or lockout prolongs and goes for a significant amount of time so that's why a center like this quite unique in the days leading up to a strike or a lockout but obviously this is a unique set of circumstances
