WestJet has told air travellers that it will offer a one-time fee waiver for changes or cancellations with a looming pilot’s strike that could start as of 3 a.m. ET on May 18.

More than 1,900 WestJet and subsidiary Swoop airlines pilots and their union have threatened strike action as the two sides remain divided over wages and other collective bargaining negotiations.
