TL;DR

WestJet flight attendants could strike as soon as Sunday over pay for pre-takeoff duties (ground pay). CUPE 8125 has issued a 72-hour strike notice while talks continue. WestJet is offering free changes and refunds for affected travelers, and has canceled some flights to minimize disruption; Encore and codeshare services are not affected. If a strike happens, Canadian rules require rebooking on the next available flight, with refunds or re-accommodation as applicable.
