Absolute desperate tactics we're seeing now.
There is some uncertainty and discussion among the pilot group on whether we can press on with a strike notice despite the CIRB giving WJ an extra week to submit additional documentaion. We will find out very soon!
Jesus Christ! 🙄🤦‍♂️ what is CIRB? Hold the the line westjet pilots! Don’t start to break historical solidarity, we all have your backs!

Thank you! The solidarity and unity between our airline peers right now is incredible.

I’m sure your MEC will make that decision based on sound legal advise. No one wants to accidentally invite government intervention. A week or so delay won’t mean squat in the end.

However if legal green lights the 16th. Go!

If you want to see who's operating any WS or WO flight, you can see it through ICAS Tools using the Atlas app.

Encore pilots are behind you and will be supporting in every way we can in the bounds of our contractual obligations.
Because you advertised this on here the Icas app access has now been shut down for every pilot in the company. Nice work. Just think next time please!

Cool! And thanks for getting ICAS access shut down. It was a great tool for more than just creeping operating crew you know. Try exercising a little bit more discipline about the information you publish to a public forum please.

Edit to say sorry to Canadaflyer46. It wasn't you who mentioned ICAS. I'll leave the post to take ownership of my error and as conciliation for being an ass towards you.

You are chiding the wrong poster, Canadaflyer46 was thanking the one who did post the information, that being said, I’m sure a pilot who was planning on scabbing would have had it shut down anyway.

You are correct. It was @averageatbest. My apologies to @Canadaflyer46. The heat of the moment got the best of me.

If my post was the reason why the tool was taken down, we are more f'd than I thought.

Based on WJ CEOs last email tonight. Looks like a strike is most likely the way to go. He has no sense of reality. Let him learn the hard way.

Don’t go to hard on averagebeast, sounds like genuine mistake and if it wasn’t him would have been someone else. And it wouldn’t have been long into a strike that the other side would have connected that dot anyway.. don’t start infighting now destroying all the goodwill and solidarity we as pilots have created. We’re all in this together! Sure it is unfortunate but c’est la vie.

Lots of way to find out who’s operating the flights during a strike.

Let's put the ICAS issue to bed.

It was in the works no less than the week prior to averageatbest's post. First caught wind of the planned takedown on May 1st based on IT security issues that were identified the week prior.

Sad it's gone though.

You should listen to the MEC to know why.

You really are a nasty piece of work. With no perceptible knowledge of our industry or apparently labour negotiations, I fail to understand why you spend so much of your time trolling this forum.
