ONEX corporate actions are not centred on WJ. However, the cash that WJ burns is now ONEX cash. Hence the aggressive employee layoffs to cut payroll cost while revenues are virtually non-existent.
Having the backing of a massive and well capitalized holding company with significant access to cash and capital will be a good thing when times improve. But it also creates pressure to stop the hemorrhage during bad times.

Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze
Quick questions - no US flying? Right seat or left seat?
Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze
Only domestic flying. You can overfly the states and also divert to the states but then you wouldn’t be able to get out of there.
Both seats.

Good luck to all, hope for a quick return.

Maybe time for some retirement ...
Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze
In line with the above statement, “time for some retirements”, are the any of the original “millionaires” still flying the line?
If so, are they the over 65s in question?

I stand corrected. I was told there were 30-40 just recently, but your numbers are probably more accurate.

What method(s) are being explored to mitigate lay-offs?

Thats true, I saw their planes still going! Good work guys!
Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze
WestJets biggest problem...ALPA, and the incompetence that their decisions made by those to represent and make the best decisions for ALL its members.

What I find funny is you think only one guy has this opinion......
Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze
I seriously doubt this twit is who you think it is. JS appears to have accepted the will of the group and now supports ALPA. I hear he even wears a lanyard, although I haven’t been able to personally verify that.
In addition, JS is far more eloquent than this ‘tard.
