Jazz flight attendants give clearance for strike

Airline operates six round trip flights between Vancouver and Prince George

Air Canada Jazz flight attendants joined their colleagues in the cockpit and voted to OK possible strike action Monday in a move that could disrupt regional air travel across the country.

The vote affects roughly 300 workers in B.C. and Alberta, said Jennifer Kalmar, western vice-president for the Canadian Flight Attendants Union, and could see the airline's cabin crews strike, or be locked out, as early as June 16. According to the Canadian Press, Jazz pilots could mount similar action three days earlier.

The firm operates six round trips flight daily between Prince George and Vancouver.
