Pilots Reportedly Underwhelmed By The WestJet Group Offer

WestJet Encore pilots have rejected the Tentative Agreement presented to them last month. The pilots were reportedly underwhelmed by the WestJet Group’s attempts at using compensation to gloss over many of the core structural issues of the operation. Of the 92 percent of eligible pilots who cast ballots, 53 percent voted against the agreement. This result reiterates that there is a deep-seated feeling that management fails to recognize the pilots’ needs beyond matters tied to compensation.
