West Jet pilots have issued a 72 hour strike notice Monday night.
The Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) issued a news release saying notice was given at 8pm, the release said notice could have been given over the weekend but wasn’t, as a show of good faith.
The pilots will be able to – and ALPA says plan to – begin “lawful job action” as of 3 a.m. on May 19. This could include “grounding all aircraft and effectively shutting down operations.”
Canada’s passenger rights rules dictate airlines must offer to book passengers of cancelled flights on a flight with another airline within 48 hours of departure.
