The Canadian government wants an arbitrator to impose a deal to end Air Canada strike that's stranded airline passengers.

After months of stalled negotiations, 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants walked off the job early Saturday morning. The federal government stepped in hours later to order binding arbitration, forcing an end to the strike — or so they thought.

As Air Canada cancels flights in anticipation of a possible strike, experts say this could result in millions of dollars of delayed claims.
