WestJet and Swoop Pilots Strike

Last I checked WestJet had canceled 103 flights across its network, affecting 16,000-ish passengers. The reason they're canceling today ahead of what could be a strike or a lockout on Friday is because they want to be able to control their fleet. Pilots in the US are paid a lot more than pilots in Canada. As a result, WestJet and possibly other airlines are losing pilots.
