WestJet Encore pilots reject tentative deal; airline says no impact on operations
BNN Bloomberg
The union representing WestJet Encore pilots says its members rejected the tentative deal reached last month, with just over half voting the agreement down.
The union says despite improvements to compensation and scheduling, the pilots wanted to see more action from WestJet to address ongoing issues with pilot recruitment, retention and morale.
WestJet says it was disappointed to learn that pilots voted down what it calls a competitive agreement within Canada's airline industry.
The airline says the results of the ratification vote do not impact operations.
