The Trinidad and To­ba­go Air­line Pi­lots As­so­ci­a­tion (TTAL­PA) says it is "un­aware of any strike ac­tion be­ing tak­en by the pi­lot body. "

The an­nounce­ment comes as Caribbean Air­lines can­celed al­most all of its morn­ing flights to­day, with sev­er­al more flights re­main­ing in lim­bo. Caribbean Air­lines blamed the is­sue on "re­source con­straints."

But un­con­firmed re­ports point­ed to pos­si­ble sick out ac­tion by pi­lots.

TTAL­PA de­nied re­ports in an ar­ti­cle (not in the Guardian) which at­trib­uted the can­ce­la­tion to pi­lots' ac­tions.

"TTAL­PA and its mem­bers there­fore re­fute the al­le­ga­tions of the news

ar­ti­cle and en­sure the pub­lic that its mem­bers con­tin­ue to fly with their safe­ty and best in­ter­ests at heart," the re­lease said.

TTAL­PA says its as­so­ci­a­tion is pro­hib­it­ed by law from tak­ing in­dus­tri­al ac­tion as their mem­bers are deemed "es­sen­tial work­ers"
