Possible WestJet pilot strike could drive up domestic air travel prices

Published: 4 May 2023

The union representing WestJet pilots has voted in favour of a job action, and that leaves air passengers playing a guessing game. The pilots can’t strike until May 16 at the earliest, and for those who already hold tickets with the airline, it’s a ‘wait and see’ situation’, said Prof. Karl Moore to CityNews Vancouver. A vote in favour of a job action is sometimes just a negotiating tactic, but the possibility could push more travellers toward Air Canada. They’re already busy, and that could push prices higher, especially in western Canada.
