WO Network Take-Down Commencement

Dear Members,

WO has begun their network take-down already and will continue until 03:00MT May 19, 2023.  Canceling flights 24h prior to departure on a rolling basis moving forward.
 

As of right now, the possibility of layoffs has not been indicated to the Union.  
 

WO (Swoop) please review the email sent by the Employer to your Company email. All applicable articles in your respective Collective Agreement apply, as this is considered an IROP scenario.  
 

If you have further questions, please contact your Inflight Leadership or your respective Base Vice President for any specific questions you may have.

At this time the Employer has not provided the Union with any other information that they have not provided to you.  
 

Please be assured we will continue to actively pursue specific information to ensure our Membership receives the support it deserves. The Union will continue to assert our position, demanding information from the Employer regarding the critical matters of concern to our Members.  
 

We are committed to keeping you, our Membership, informed by providing you with updates as soon as they are made available. 

Please ensure to take care of yourself, your coworkers and your mental health wellbeing during this time.
