WestJet Airlines at a Glance
WestJet Pilots Build Stability and Unity Amid Growth
Armed with a newly ratified collective agreement, the pilots of WestJet Airlines spent 2024 focused on flying and helping their company execute its growth strategy.
Throughout April and May, the mainline pilots supported their fellow ALPA members at WestJet Encore, who in June ratified their own contract, giving the regional carrier the ability to grow and succeed while ensuring labour stability and a reliable feed for the mainline’s B-737 and B-787 fleets.
Navigating Mergers and Future Expansion
With stability on the labour front, the pilots turned their attention to the company’s acquisition of Sunwing Airlines and working with Sunwing pilots to reach a pilot transfer agreement and the subsequent integration of the pilots’ seniority lists.
Looking ahead, WestJet pilots recognize that, with the addition of a Montréal, Qué., base in 2025 and the flow of Sunwing pilots to WestJet over the next 6 to 18 months, building unity within their newly merged pilot group will be crucial to the success of the airline.
We are pleased to announce an agreement that goes a long way toward bringing the WestJet Encore pilots in line with our regional flying counterparts across Canada.
