May 19, 2023 Update: WestJet Pilot Strike Averted

May 19, 2023

Late last night, WestJet and its pilots reached an agreement, averting the strike. However, 107 flights were already cancelled.

Westjet says it is working to bring operations back up, but you should check your flight status before heading to the airport.
