Fellow YQB & YUL FCMs,
As you are aware, WestJet plans to close the YQB base. We, as your ALPA MEC representatives, joined by representatives of CUPE, are interested in holding a day in YQB in February, to bring media attention to this terrible decision.
We are in the preliminary planning stages; therefore, nothing has been confirmed yet. Our first priority is to gauge the level of support toward acting against this closure. To that end, we are inviting you to a call on Thursday January 23rd, at 1900 ET to discuss this event.
We are also inviting YUL pilots and cabin crew since we would be asking for your support and participation. YUL will be affected by the closure through base transfers and bumping. Further, we want WestJet to understand that YQB is different from YUL in the language and cultural aspects.
If you are interested, please join the Zoom call using the link below. Please ensure you are logged in with your Full Name displayed.
If you cannot attend this meeting but want to help with this event, please email your MEC, or your YQB reps: Christian Blais, Jean Fiset, or Philippe Lamontagne. On the CUPE side, you can contact your YQB or YUL VPs.
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to seeing you on this planning call. Bring your ideas and be ready to volunteer. We cannot do this without you!
