Air Canada flights grounded as pilots 'stage sick-out'

Quote:

Air Canada has cancelled dozens of flights as pilots call in sick in an apparent protest over a labour row.

An intervention in the dispute last month from Canada's government, that in effect banned any work stoppage, angered a number of employees.

As of Friday morning, more than 50 flights had been cancelled across major airports in Canada, mostly in Toronto, reported CBC News.

The Air Canada Pilots Association urged its union members to report to work.

Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick told CBC News a higher number of pilots than average were calling in sick.

Well I will give it a spin as long as they look the other way due to the fact I don't have a pilot's licence. :88)

Ladies and gentlemen no reason to panic....is there a pilot aboard?
