On May 5, 2024, AMFA and WestJet announced a Tentative Agreement (TA) on a new four-and-a-half-year agreement. The Committee has been working with the Company for the last two weeks to finalize the language. The full text of the TA will be emailed to each AMFA-WJA member in good standing (MIGS) for your review prior to scheduled station informational meetings.
The AMFA – WestJet Negotiating Committee will hold Question and Answer (Q&A) Informational Meetings via Zoom to discuss the Tentative Agreement and to answer questions from the membership. The meeting schedule is as follows:
