5/30/2025 Jumpseat Committee Update: Sunwing Pilot Jumpseat Availability SWGMECUpdate Jumpseat Committee Update A MESSAGE FROM THE SUNWING AIRLINES MASTER EXECUTIVE COUNCIL May 30, 2025 Sunwing Pilot Jumpseat Availability – June and July Fellow Flight Crew Members, Now that Sunwing has winded down operations, Sunwing will no longer be reciprocating jumpseats with our partners, effectively terminating the agreements. With pilots still yet to transition to WestJet, this will leave those members in limbo for jumpseat travel. The Jumpseat Committee has reached out to our reciprocal airlines to request a temporary extension of jumpseat benefits to help those still waiting for their WestJet start dates. To date, these carriers have advised that the remaining Sunwing pilots will be granted jumpseat access.
