CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Canada’s second largest airline, WestJet, has started to cancel flights because its talks with a pilots’ union are at an impasse, the carrier said Thursday, jeopardizing travel plans for thousands of passengers ahead of a holiday weekend in Canada.Some 1,800 pilots at the carrier and its Swoop subsidiary are poised to walk off the job overnight after the Air Line Pilots Association issued a strike notice earlier this week.
