Air Transat pilots gear up for strike as union issues 72-hour notice

An ongoing labour dispute could upend many Canadians’ holiday travel plans. Pilots at Air Transat have given notice that they are preparing to go on strike this Wednesday. As a result, the Canadian airline said it will begin grounding flights starting Monday, and will suspend all service on Tuesday, unless a last-minute deal can be reached. Mike Armstrong reports on the negotiations and the travellers caught in the middle.
