WestJet Group Pilot Jumpseat Access

[tbaylx]

In light of recent WestJet lockout/strike notice, Flair has elected to reopen our jumpseats to Westjet group pilots for the duration of any labor dispute and hopefully beyond should reciprocal agreements be restored.

Pilots can book online using MYID Travel for travel on Friday, May 13th onwards. Alternatively, if MYID Travel is not available jumpseat travel can be booked through the manual process which can be found in the jumpseat handbook. The information has been passed to the jumpseat coordinators for implementation and booking should be live today.

Classy move. This should be posted in the WJ forum as well.

Bravo. Incredible.

Good people still exist.

That was a classy move Tbaylx. ALPA mentioned it in today’s comm:

Furthermore, we are humbled by the generous offer received from Flair Airlines to reinstate our suspended jumpseat agreement for the duration of any labour action. We remind pilots that our Flair agreement was weaponized, then subsequently cancelled by WestJet/Swoop management over a petty, managerial schoolyard level spat.

Glad we could help a bit.

Certainly classy.

Kinda funny that it came with the latest flair ad talking about increased flights in the west...

But a solid move none the less.

Classy move by Flair. Thank you. Jump seat for pilots during covid hasn't been forgotten either
