Airline rescheduling flight plans despite union insisting flight attendants won’t return to work until they get a fair contact

When Air Canada pilots went on strike in September 1998 for 13 days, all of the carrier's more than 600 daily flights were grounded, stranding passengers and costing the airline C$133m ($96m; £71m) before a deal was reached.

Air Canada now says it plans to resume flights on Monday after the union that represents striking attendants defied a federal return-to-work edict and remained on the picket lines Sunday.
