Anxious air travellers can now rest easy with the threat of a WestJet strike seemingly at an end. Earlier this month, WestJet's pilots voted 91 per cent in favour of walking off the job. WestJet has been negotiating with the pilots union over a new working contract for months. Swoop pilots would be hired from overseas and paid less than WestJet's staff pilots. The union's position is that only WestJet pilots should fly the airline's fleet, including those of its subsidiaries.
