Air Transat pilots issue 72-hour strike notice amid busy holiday travel season

Air Transat pilots have set the stage for a strike as early as Wednesday morning, issuing a 72-hour notice to the struggling company just as we're heading into the busy holiday travel season.

The Air Line Pilots Association said Sunday it filed the strike notice after failing to find common ground following nearly a year of negotiations with the company that owns the airline.

The carrier, which flies mainly to destinations in Europe and the Caribbean, says it will inform customers of cancelled flights.
