Many of Georgian’s employees have begun receiving layoff notices, says one of their unions, despite being earlier promised jobs at other carriers

A company that flew 1.5 million passengers a year as an Air Canada sub-contractor has taken the first step toward bankruptcy protection after the bigger airline ended for good their low-profile out-sourcing arrangement.

Both companies denied at the time that the decision had anything to do with concerns about safety and maintenance at Georgian, first reported by the National Post. As word emerged in early in 2019 that the contract with Air Canada was ending, the company and pilots’ union assured crew members they would be provided work elsewhere.

But more than 40 of those flight attendants have received layoff notices in recent weeks, while the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents them, said it received confirmation of the bankruptcy filing only when notified by the Post Thursday.
