The Westjet pilots need to make it clear to the company that the crewing at Swoop must remain in their scope otherwise it won't be long before the whole fleet is outsourced.
Admittedly a bit facetious but think about it a bit; decades ago there were many fair sized airlines operating airliners to choose from, albeit some of that was due to a regulated environment. So customers had a choice, depending on where they were travelling.
And now there are two choices only as far as scheduled carriers are concerned. If one goes poof or gets bought out, what is there left in Canada?
