You Might Get There...

 But Will You Get Back?


PENDING STRIKE

On December 12, 2023 we learned that WestJet was in chaos due to union breaking tactics with the mechanics. Now the saga continues. As it turns out, management filed notice of dispute, without prior consultation with AMFA, and after only three negotiation sessions. This was a bit premature, and will place WestJet in an interesting position this spring. Timing is everything, and when you're nasty it often comes back and bites you in the ass. 

Today I learned that on January 30, 2024, federal mediators advised everyone that a strike or lockout of WestJet aircraft mechanics could occur as early as April 17 of this year. 

Why so soon? 

Because of premature notice and offensive tactics by WestJet's management team. Unfortunately this may impact passengers who counted on WestJet for their Spring Break travel. 

What that means to the traveling public...
Be cautious on where you place your traveling dollars. 
If it's on WestJet in Spring of 2024
You might get there, but you might not get back. 


Enjoy the Journey!
