WestJet Strike Countdown: What to Do If You're Flying This Long Weekend

  Published July 31, 2026  |  Canadian Money Brief If you've got a WestJet flight booked for this weekend, here's the situation in one line: a strike or a lockout could ground the airline's cabin crew as early as Saturday, August 1 at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time / Sunday, August 2 at 12:01 a.m. MT — right at the start of the busy August long weekend. Nothing has happened yet. WestJet and the union representing its roughly 4,400 flight attendants, CUPE Local 8125, are both still at the table.

HOW WE GOT HERE Flight attendants voted 99.4% in favour of a strike mandate back on July 15.

5-Ingredient Roasted Lemon Chicken & Vegetables




This lemony baked chicken thigh recipe has only 5 ingredients and comes with a side of veggies that roast alongside the chicken for a complete weeknight dinner. Bone-in skinless chicken breast cut in half can be used instead of the thighs, if you prefer.

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as oregano or thyme, divided
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • 5 cups cubed root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and/or turnips
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
  • 4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs ( 1 1/2- 2 pounds)
  • 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.

2. Combine 2 tablespoons herbs, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add root vegetables and onion; toss to coat. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet.

3. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons herbs, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in the same bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and tuck 4 lemon wedges in.

4. Roast, stirring the vegetables twice, until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone registers 165°F, about 30 minutes. 
Discard the roasted lemon wedges. Squeeze the remaining 4 lemon wedges over the chicken.
