TL;DR

WestJet pilots are set to go on a 72-hour strike starting on May 19, 2023, due to the inability to come to an agreement with the airline over a new contract. WestJet has offered significant pay increases, but pilots are hoping to narrow the gap between pilot pay in Canada and the United States. The airline is in the process of canceling most flights between Friday and Sunday.
