    AirCanada ghost them and change employee scheduling so as much as possible employee will be stranded outside of Canada, employees had to call ill en masse so they didn’t fly a one way to Beijing without hotel or way home.

    Do you have a source for this?

        Oh, wow, I see. That is quite devious. Thank you for sharing that. I will be sure to bring this up when the topic does inevitably come up.

        The statement they posted from Air Canada says:

        our aircraft are positioned in the right place, for the duration of the stoppage and for when the time comes to restart our operation

        which would effectively mean stranding unpaid crew across the globe for the duration of a strike/lockout to apply pressure to settle in their own favour.
