New York smoke forces ground stop, delay at LaGuardia and Newark airports
NEW YORK CITY - The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a ground stop at LaGuardia Airport in Queens and a ground delay at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.Winds have blown smoke from unchecked Canadian wildfires into the region, which led the DEC to issue an Air Quality Health Advisory for all five boroughs.FOX 5 NY's Antwan Lewis has the storyCanada is dealing with a series of intense wildfires that have spread from the western provinces to Quebec, with hundreds of forest fires burning. The smoke has traveled into the United States, resulting in a number of air quality alerts issued since May.Wildfire smoke is a complex mixture of gases, particles, and water vapor that contains multiple pollutants that can get into the lungs and bloodstream. There is no evidence of a safe level of exposure to some of the pollutants, meaning that smoke can impact your health even at very low levels. Inhaling smoke from wildfires can cause headaches, sore and watery eyes, nose, throat, and sinus irritation, chest pains, heart palpitations and more. Exposure to elevated fine particle pollution levels can affect the lungs and heart.The air quality alerts caution "sensitive groups," a big category that includes children, older adults, and people with lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.FOX 5 NY's Robert Moses has the story.Kids, who often are encouraged to go out and play, "are more susceptible to smoke for a number of reasons," said Laura Kate Bender, the lung association's National Assistant Vice President, healthy air.

WestJet pilots strike looms: What to know if you’ve got a flight booked
WestJet pilots might soon go on strike are looming over travellers who have tickets booked with the Calgary-based airline.The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the union representing WestJet pilots, who are seeking better job protections, benefits and wages that will bring them in line with their North American counterparts, is set to declare on Saturday whether a work stoppage will start 72 hours later on May 16.Pilots representing both WestJet and its discount brand Swoop voted in favour of a strike mandate in April. Earlier this week, pilots took part in an informational picket to raise awareness of their demands.John Gradek, a lecturer with McGill University’s aviation management program who’s not involved in the negotiations, says it’s a toss-up whether there will be a strike or not, with the odds seemingly changing on an hour-to-hour basis.He says there’s a “fairly large gap” between WestJet and its pilots, who are seeking a wage boost to offset what they say are some of the lowest rates of pay for pilots in North America.Though the union claims these working conditions have meant WestJet is bleeding staff to the tune of 30 pilots a month, Gradek also says meeting the demands will be “a significant cost” to the airline.WestJet, for its part, pushed back against the union’s claims in a statement released May 8.The airline asserted that its mainline pilots are among the best paid in Canada and wages shouldn’t be compared to U.S.

Alberta wildfires: Grande Prairie residents prepare in case they need to flee
dozens of active wildfires burning hundreds of thousands of square kilometres across Alberta.Hot weather in the forecast has prompted some residents of Grande Prairie to prepare to leave as a wildfire burns outside the city.“If a person looks out, the kids and I are playing in the yard here and everything just seems normal, but we are fully aware that there is still a wildfire,” said Brandon Wilson, who lives just two kilometres outside of the area currently under evacuation order.The most up-to-date evacuation information can be found on the Alberta Emergency Alerts website.Wilson said when evacuations first started last week, there were long lines at gas stations in the city.He said he has put together essentials, especially for his kids, in case the family needs to leave the area on short notice.“We have a couple options and if we had to move quickly, we could,” he said, adding his family could stay in a camping trailer if needed.It’s a case of hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, he said.“I think there’s a lot of potential for this fire to get carried away still.”The upcoming hot weather, with highs in the high 20s and low 30s, is expected to fan the flames over the next few days, said Trevor Grant, the fire chief of County of Grande Prairie Fire Services.“There are still lots of smolders and areas that are unseen within the fire perimeter that may rekindle or flare up with the hot, dry conditions that could extend and cause us some more issues.”Grant said he didn’t want to speculate on what could happen over the weekend.“It all depends on what we can accomplish through the next few days and what the weather does,” he said.Bob Marshall, the reeve of the County of Grande Prairie, said the fire has moved
