  • There are 5 airlines in Canada with more than 60 registered aircraft, of which Air Canada has 256. There are roughly 37,290 registered aircraft in Canada. The union has about 10,000 flight attendants across all airlines and 750,000 public employee members total. I can’t tell you exactly how many people are impacted but we could assume the ( 10,000 / 37,290 ) * 256 = 68.6511 union members, but that’s way too low because we don’t know exactly what ratio of registered aircraft are passenger planes with flight attendents.

    It’s not exactly David vs Goliath, here, the number of people negatively impacted by delayed shipments or being trapped on an actual plane or having nonrefundable flights cancelled definitely outweighed those negatively impacted by the union agreement lapse.
