The Calgary-based airline said Monday the impact of the strike, which began ahead of the July 1 holiday, will continue in the coming days, meaning more cancellations before it can fully resume operations as usual.
Krrish Shah, who was visiting Toronto with family, said he was struggling to get back home to Calgary after he was notified of a flight cancellation at 2:30 a.m. 'It's just really difficult right now,' he said. 'My dad has work, my mom has work, I have work starting up. It says for the next three days nothing is available and we're really trying to figure something out.'
Spencer Fox, WestJet passenger, expressed frustration, 'I couldn't be more frustrated. I'm trying not to lose my cool.'
WestJet said it had cancelled 1,078 flights across Canada as of 11 a.m. ET Monday, including 292 on Monday and 27 on Tuesday, affecting more than 100,000 passengers.
