The linked story is an attempt to explain what the Air Canada flight attendants are hoping to accomplish. It isn’t very enlightening but it does give some feeling for the poison’that runs between the flight attendants and Air Canada, and apparently, the Government as well. If you believe the sources in the story the Government’s intention to legislate the employees back to work may somehow be responsible for the rejection. If so, it is a sad commentary on the maturity of the flight attendants. It’s a little reminiscent of the intense militancy of the British Airways flight attendants. Are the flight attendants in a state of war with their employer much like their B/A counterparts? It may be that the Air Canada staff is just that disgruntled. The media has not done a good job at getting at the heart of the flight attendants issue. No representative for example is quoted in this story. Story.
