Dear Members,  

We have been made aware of a guest that has filmed Cabin Crew and posted the video online.   Your Union has reached out to the Employer regarding this concern. 
 

WestJet is looking into the matter and to action where it can. The Union has requested a communication from the Company on the matter to give Cabin Crew Members directions on both the Domestic Tariffs and the International Tariffs, and instructions on how to report instances should it be required. 

As per WestJet’s Tariff, Tariffs | WestJet official site
