10K Flight Attendants Strike, Grounding Air Canada Flights

Airline suspends all operations after deal deadline passes

Air Canada suspended all operations as more than 10,000 of the airline's flight attendants went on strike early Saturday after a deadline to reach a deal passed, leaving travelers around the world stranded and scrambling during the peak summer travel season. Canadian Union of Public Employees spokesman Hugh Pouliot confirmed the strike started after no deal was reached, and the airline said shortly after that it would halt operations, per the AP.
