WestJet cancels several flights in anticipation of mechanics strike

WestJet is facing yet another strike threat….this time from its 670 aircraft mechanics.

The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association says they’ll walk off the job tomorrow (Thursday) evening at 6:00 (Pacific time) if a new agreement isn’t signed.

The Association says WestJet cut off talks this week….so they have no option but to threaten a walkout.

The company says they want a federal arbitrator to lay out a potential deal…a process it considers fair.

WestJet has already cancelled 40 flights through today, affecting 65-hundred passengers.

More cancellations are likely.
