Passengers with WestJet’s Encore airline can breathe a little easier after an agreement was reached between the company and its pilots.
After seven months of negotiations, the Airline Pilots Association – the union that represents the pilots – says progress has been made.
Compensation and scheduling were among the sticking points, but the organization says a full tentative agreement is now in the works.
Last week, Encore pilots had approved a strike mandate and more than 350 pilots were ready to walk off the job.
