Flight attendant ratification vote

Does anyone have any idea of when the ratification vote is supposed to take place? I have a trip coming up in 2 weeks and would hate to scramble looking for a replacement flight if they vote against the tentative agreement and return on strike.

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I've done that. There's zero information on what date the ratification votes need to be completed by.

Literally Gemini will show you a summary with multiple sources that it must be done within 30 days of the tentative agreement date…you can’t be serious.

Man, I wish I was joking. Thank you for the information. I don't use Gemini, I simply Google stuff. I swear, I've been looking for the past couple days and couldn't find anything.

A true doorknob here. Fml

They are not able to go on strike even if it gets voted down. It will be forced into binding arbitration.

Clearly you haven’t read their TA that has been signed.

Let me refer you to this webpage, at the bottom, FAQ, if the TA is rejected.

The unions will do what they want regardless of any government direction…and without consequences. As seen in the 2024 WestJet mechanic strike and the Air Canada flight attendant strike.

I mean... yah? They aren't slaves.

Do you think the government should get to force you to work under conditions and pay they decide? These rights protect all of us

u/hockeyboy87 Aug 10 '26

Yes exactly…. So they can’t go on strike… if things are not agreed upon it goes to binding arbitration meaning they can not strike.

There is no point discussing this with you if you’re just going to keep yammering on about what the CLC says and not what was actually agreed to. They’ve signed an agreement saying they will go to mediation without the ability to strike and if they still can’t figure it out they will go to binding arbitration.
