Westjet and the pilots' union have reached a tentative deal.
A strike at Westjet and Swoop airlines has been averted. Pilots gave a 72 hour strike notice on Wednesday and that expired early this morning. The WestJet Group and the union, Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), have reached a tentative agreement. Both parties now await the ratification vote to be put forward to membership. Yesterday, the Westjet group started taking down their network with 98 cancellations, and the majority of their 737 and 787 fleet were grounded. Travelers should still check the status of their flights before heading to the airport. Please visit WestJet’s Guest Updates page or Swoop’s information hub for more information regarding flight status.
