Air Canada will maintain its schedules despite a first-ever strike by 3,211 flight attendants at the peak of the vacation travel season, an airline spokeswoman said. Esther Szynkarsky said the airline has trained 1,800 Air Canada management personnel and university students as substitutes for the strikers, members of the Canadian Air Line Flight Attendants’ Assn., who walked off the job at midnight Sunday in a pay dispute.
