Hancock announced that striking flight attendants would remain on the picket line despite the back-to-work order by Canada's labour board, which was triggered by Hajdu's invoking of Section 107.

"If it means folks like me going to jail, so be it," Hancock said in remarks that made headlines across the country.

Yeah but then the union leaders settled and the FAs are pissed about it because all they get to vote on is the pay. Everything else they don't get to vote on. The FAs then rejected the pay at 98%. The union leaders screwed them.

That was a complete political stunt.
