You'd think if the pilots were actually really hard done by the union would be releasing those numbers to garner public support. It's very noticeable that the only numbers released have been by WestJet management. The union responded by saying those weren't the true numbers and they had been cherry picked but then the logical next step would be them releasing what the actuals are. Instead they gave the same talking points about fairness and not wanting to negotiate in public. Leads me to the only conclusion that the numbers released of $300,000 a year on average are more or less correct, and the union is free to clear that up for me and everyone else concerned about this situation any time they want but I'm not holding my breath.
From everything I've read and seen this is going to cause chaos for Canadian and North American air travel and the only way it's getting resolved soon is for the Feds to step in. We'll see if they do
