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.

Did WestJet pilots reject $300K+ salaries? Union says figures ‘cherry-picked’

WestJet is telling its pilots it was offering “significant” wage increases that would make them among the highest paid workers in Canada before the pilots’ union issued notice for a strike that could begin this week, Global News has learned.But the union says the “cherry-picked” six-figure salaries included in internal communications do not represent the full scope of the offer they rejected, and criticized the airline for bargaining in public.Global News obtained a memo sent to pilots by John Aaron, WestJet’s vice-president of flight operations, to the airline’s pilots hours after the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) issued a 72-hour strike notice Monday evening.WestJet pilots are set to walk off the job at 3 a.m. Eastern on Friday unless a deal is reached.In the memo, Aaron said the airline’s latest offer — which expired after the strike notice was issued — would have raised salaries to “around” $300,000 for a narrowbody aircraft captain and $350,000 for a widebody aircraft captain, before overtime and other stipends.Aaron said those wages would have made narrowbody captains and first officers the highest-paid in Canada.Narrowbody aircraft are the more common passenger planes, like the Boeing 737, that have a single aisle separating passenger seating.
