Air Canada Cuts Management Jobs After Flight Attendant Strike
Air Canada has cut approximately 400 management jobs, representing about 1% of the airline's workforce, following a flight attendant strike in August.
The strike, which involved over 10,000 flight attendants, resulted in more than 3,000 flight cancellations and cost the airline $375 million.
Following an extensive review, we made the difficult decision to reduce some non-unionized management positions, affecting one per cent of our total staff.
The cuts will not impact day-to-day operations at the airline, according to spokeswoman Angela Mah.
