Q: Is it true that Sunwing staff will maintain their seniority so that way a 16 years seniority at WESTJET could be lower on the seniority list than a few years at Sunwing? Also how about their salaries? Is is true they will be paid more than us? Will they maintain that salary until the end of their contract? When is the end of their contract? If it is true, it is unacceptable!

A: All of these have not been determined yet.  This is a lengthy process and due diligence is required.  Anything you hear as of right is rumors.

Q: I heard, yesterday, that there are some pilots that are taking reciprical pilots in the jumpseat and leaving a Westjet FA behind, not getting them to work/home..... something about an Alpa agreement?? I spoke with my Captain yesterday and he was not aware of a change If this is true... I am truly saddened

A: The process for who gets priority for the flight deck jumpseat has changed.  Please view the changes in the FAM as well in the CSA SOPs (the WIN).  You can may read more information on this, further up in this email.
