Hows the scheduling at Westjet?

Post by asdfasd »

How is the schedule made at Westjet? Do you bid schedules, put in preferences, do all the pilots work the same number of hours?

Thanks for the info.

Everybody is blocked to about 80 hard hours - there is no seniority in the system. Under our new agreement we are guaranteed 15 days off per month by April next year.

We use the ADOPT system and can bid days off, pairing length, layover cities, destinations, preferred check-in times, and preferred days off between pairings. Personally I bid specific days off and YEG overnites and get 95% of what I ak for - typically working 14 - 16 days a month.

Cheers
