@markmandel007 @MargauxPeckLaw @WestJet Did you ever fight it? Get any money back?

@MargauxPeckLaw @WestJet Don’t forget that WestJet stranded people a year ago when maintenance went on strike. Their response was abysmal and refused to rebook passengers, including me and my daughter, on other airlines even though air canada had a flight within 2 hours of departure with seats available.

Let’s never forget that when Air Canada was shut down, the other airlines didn’t help. They instead price gouged Air Canada’s customers. You could have gained customers for life, instead you price gouged them 4-5X the fare value. @WestJet this is despicable and short sighted.

@MargauxPeckLaw @John06601824 @WestJet I think this will take years but I am curious to see how it plays out. So many stranded people…

@John06601824 @WestJet Thankfully, my flight originates in the UK where they take passenger protections much more seriously. I agree that our protections don’t go near far enough (as is currently being put on full display). AC is trying to deny that UK law applies. They are wrong.

@itsonlymeajay @BusinessesRev Absolute bullshit. Sorry this happened to you. Being sent a lot of information about how the EU has significantly more passenger rights. Worth looking into for a reimbursement.

#AirCanada had cancelled 100s of flights a few days ahead of a strike, leaving thousands of passengers stranded, and struggling with unplanned extra costs, vowing not reimburse its passengers affected by the strike due to Canada's Airline regulations #aircanadaflightattendants

@ty_phus @ottawasuncom Ok thank you for letting me know. Good luck on your travels!

@gerorgefox @ottawasuncom I used their website to rebook it for free. Could have gone home earlier but would have to fly through the US and don't want to do that. I don't mind a layover in Osaka, though.

The Air Canada strike is over. I'm still stuck in Paris ottawasun.com/news/air-canad…

@ty_phus @ottawasuncom Did they give you the new flight or did you book it on your own out of pocket?

@ottawasuncom I have the same issue but am stuck in Toronto. I tried to get home to Seoul. Had a direct flight for Wednesday, but it was canceled, and now my flight is on Saturday, going to Osaka, then Seoul. They also canceled my flight after the tentative agreement was made.

@grossi_sonia @AirCanada Their response to stranded customers is the most disappointing part of this whole thing. Unbelievable.

@gerorgefox @AirCanada Can't get ahold of anyone on their customer service line. Its all automated saying they are sorry and check your email for instructions.

Air Canada to Gradually Resume Service Today after Reaching a Mediated Settlement with its Flight Attendant Union : aircanada.com/media/air-cana…

@grossi_sonia @AirCanada Have you spoke directly to them?

@AirCanada Flight was cancelled yesterday. My flight was not rebooked because all flights were full and im stranded for 5 days without a flight home . I expect to be reimbursed for this as air canada failed to rebook me home. This is not okay.

@StandingHannah @AirCanada Yah we are seeing crazy high prices too. Which we can’t afford with a group of us. Trying to enjoy the last days of our holiday but has this ever made it stressful. Are you seeing options through air Canada? Have you spoke to them directly at all?

@gerorgefox @AirCanada We’re trying to see what the options are and have chatted with our hotel to see about staying. Right now the flights home are $8000 each. So we can stay here :)

Our @AirCanada flights are cancelled. Which isn’t a surprised or the end of the world. I’m happy to stay in Paris longer. What is weird is Air Canada rebooked our connection from Montreal to Ottawa with no mention or though to the Paris to Montreal part of the trip.

@nat_keener Sorry. It’s really unfair that this has fallen on travellers. I keep hoping to hear good news from other people in similar situations and mostly just hearing that they had to pay out of pocket and book a different flight.

@DaintyAmbiguity @AirCanada What happened in the end?

@AirCanada one of the worst customer service I waited for 6.5 hrs to get thru their call center and the lady Kate threatened to put us back on hold when we asked her to accommodate on the flight to Toronto as it was cancelled by air canada!

@nat_keener Are you trying to get in contact with them?

@skotty10 Really had some hope we would get rebooked through air Canada as it will cost us thousands and thousands with a whole group. But losing faith now. How stressful.

@gerorgefox Not at all, cancelled ours and haven’t heard anything from them since

Fuck you Air Canada, you’ve cost our family over 2k to make changes with flights, car rental and hotels….still not home! When asking AC help desk about compensation, response was “sorry, read the law” Pay your employees, but also compensate the rest of us ffs! #aircanadastrike

@skotty10 Oh man. What a nightmare. This is about to be my family stuck in Europe and we don’t know what we should do. Flight hasn’t been cancelled yet but assuming it will be.

@MichTOCA @CTVNews @AirCanada @globalnewsto @CBCNews Darn. So sorry.

@gerorgefox @CTVNews @AirCanada @globalnewsto @CBCNews Unfortunately no good news. Soon after the cancellation we had a note from AC saying that they couldn’t rebook us. We never heard anything after (that was three days ago). Have tried contacting them numerous times with no success. We’ve slowly been making our way home on our own!

If Air Canada cancels your flight, don’t accept a refund, passenger rights expert says ctvnews.ca/business/artic…

@MichTOCA @CTVNews @AirCanada @globalnewsto @CBCNews Yes I am also hoping you could keep us updated so we have an idea of what is ahead for us. We have 2 young kids with us needing to get home to Toronto from Madrid. Thanks so much! Also trying to stay calm but it is quite a mess.

@CTVNews @AirCanada @CTVNews @globalnewsto @CBCNews Well Air Canada has abandoned us. Told us they can’t find another flight itinerary and asked us to call them for a different day. We’d do that but can’t get through to them! Thanks AC for doing your job and getting us home.

@Jon_Hartley_ Will you keep me updated if they get you a new flight? We are preparing for this in a few days and are trying to get our heads around what is going to happen.

Thanks Air Canada Public Sector Union!

@REV_Insulin_Res @jaayday @AirCanada Ok good to know. That will be a nightmare for us with kids in tow. Thanks for sharing!

First offer was for Wednesday, via Washington DC, having to change airports. Next is now with a layover of over 8 hours. I booked business, because I need it for the return flight. They offer economy, overnight, with 3 stops, and the layover. I could get a much better connection, but they will not answer the phone.

Stuck in San Diego due to Air Canada labour disruption. @AirCanada at least pick up the phone to make things right.
