Air Canada will start winding down operations on Sunday as it prepares for its 5,400 pilots to go on strike on Sept. 18. The airline says the "orderly shutdown" will repatriate aircraft from international destinations and ensure the system is ready for an organized restoration of service. The airline has warned that it could take 10 days to get back to normal even if the strike is short lived.
