WestJet Pilots to hold Info Picket at YYC

Seeing pilots at an airport is a usual sight, but this Friday, March 22 if you’re heading to the Calgary International Airport Friday, you could see hundreds of WestJet pilots holding an informational picket. They plan to stand in solidarity to show management they remain committed to negotiating a contract that will ensure improved working conditions, wages, and career progression.  This comes within just days of the possibility of WestJet pilots taking legal job action or facing a lockout.

We’ll bring you more information about this in the coming days.
