Check before you head to the airport
As a potential strike at WestJet and Swoop airlines gets closer, the company has started canceling flights. It’s a move to make sure aircraft don’t get stranded in the middle of a labour dispute. The WestJet Group remains in a stalemate with the union regarding “unreasonable wage expectations that if realized would permanently damage the financial viability of the group’s future.” Westjet CEO, Alexis von Hoensbroech, says, “We remain at a critical impasse with the union and have been left with no choice but to begin taking the painful steps of preparing for the reality of a work stoppage.” She added, “We remain at the bargaining table, unequivocally committed to achieving a deal as soon as possible, but are equally ready to weather “labour action for as long as it takes to arrive at a reasonable outcome.” Westjet is parking the majority of its 737 and 787 fleet. Guests traveling are advised to check the status of their flight before heading to the airport.
