WestJet Says It’s in ‘Recovery Phase’ 1 Day After Tentative Deal Reached in Flight Attendants Strike WestJet's decision to enter a "recovery phase" one day after reaching a tentative agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) to end its strike is little comfort to hundreds of passengers who have been left stranded or rebooked multiple times.
The disruption caused by the 24 hour walkout is still being felt, and it will take more than just a hastily agreed upon deal to restore confidence in Canada's second largest airline.
The flight attendants' demands for pay from check in to clock out are legitimate, particularly given their crucial role in ensuring passenger safety.
