The aftershocks of the two-day strike by WestJet’s mechanics that grounded its fleet, and interfered with the itinerary of 170,000 consumers over the hectic Canada Day weekend, continue to rumble.There were more cancelled flights recently, and disappointed clients state that the airline company’s customer care operation stays inaccessible.
Undoubtedly, mad tourists are blaming of blame at WestJet. The airline company, in turn, is furious at what it calls a “rogue” American union representing the mechanics– the Airplane Mechanics Fraternal Association– and (unofficially) at the federal labour minister, Seamus O’Regan, whom they implicate of incompetence and dithering.
