WestJet pilots could strike as of Tuesday as talks drag on

WestJet pilots and their employer are continuing to hold talks as the union warns that a walkout could come as early as Tuesday. The Air Line Pilots Association, which represents some 1,600 flight crew at WestJet and subsidiary Swoop, says it is poised to file a 72-hour strike notice just after midnight. Bernard Lewall, who heads the union's WestJet contingent, says the workers' issues revolve around job protection, pay and scheduling, with some 340 pilots leaving the carrier over the past year
