WestJet Encore - MSL Dispute Period Now Open

Dear WestJet Encore Members,

The Master Seniority List has been published and can be viewed here or on our website portal here.

This MSL was created with the following parameters:

• The WestJet Encore Inflight initial in-class training start date has been used as the starting point for the creation of the seniority list for Cabin Crew Members employed by the Company.

• A Cabin Crew Member will receive their seniority standing on the day that they complete their initial training.

• If the WestJet Encore initial in-class training start date of two or more Cabin Crew Members is the same, the Cabin Crew Member with the lower employee number shall have more seniority.

A Cabin Crew Member who has concerns regarding their own seniority date, or the accuracy of other stated information on the MSL pertaining to them will have the opportunity to submit their dispute. Disputes must be submitted within thirty (30) Calendar Days from the date the list is posted. Any disputes must be submitted by August 10, 2022.

You may only submit a dispute specific to your own placement on the MSL – disputes relating to other Cabin Crew Member’s placement on the Master Seniority List will not be considered.

The Company has developed a form with required fields that must be completed for the dispute to be reviewed. A link to the form is available here: WestJet Encore Cabin Crew Member MSL Dispute Form (office.com)

If you have any questions, please reach out to your WestJet Encore Base Vice-President using our contact form at: cupe4070.ca/contact or your local base leadership team at WestJet Encore.

In Solidarity,
