Flight attendants at Canada's WestJet went on strike on Sunday (August 2) after failing to reach a deal with the country's second-largest carrier, grounding flights during the busy summer travel season. Ahead of the strike, some travelers expressed sympathy for the workers' plight to CBC news on Friday (July 31), though at least one person also voiced concern over the possibility of what they saw as an "essential service" being stopped. - REUTERS
