Air Canada has suspended all flights due to a strike by over 10,000 flight attendants demanding higher wages, affecting around 130,000 passengers daily and leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights. The union claims the airline's offer is insufficient, and negotiations have been ongoing for months amid tensions and calls for government intervention.
Comedian Marlon Wayans claims he is being unfairly prosecuted for disturbing the peace after a luggage dispute at Denver International Airport, alleging that an airline employee racially targeted him. Wayans' lawyers argue that the charges perpetuate racism and violate his right to equal protection. The gate agent allegedly allowed white passengers with three bags to board, while Wayans was charged with a municipal violation. United Airlines previously described the incident as Wayans "pushing" or "shoving" the agent, but Wayans maintains that he merely bumped shoulders. Police were reportedly skeptical, but the agent wanted to press charges.
