Unless there is some last minute deal, it appears inevitable that pilots with WestJet will be going on strike, or locked out by the employer early Friday Morning. This is going to impact WestJet passengers all across the country. In Regina, there is a key aspect of this that isn’t generally known.  The pilots who […]
